Hi,I am Dr. Kiran Kumar (Internal Medicine). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Dizzy spells, felt sick, faint, blurry vision, pain in body. What to do?
After going to the gym one day (Aug 2011) I put the weights down and has dizzy spells, felt sick, faint, blurry vision . Since then I have had an MRI scan , numerous tablets to take but I am still getting blurry vision, dizziness , feeling spaced out, tightness in the front of my head and the back of my neck running up to my head. Ive been to a neurologist and tried Gabapentin which didnt work, and now he is suggesting nerve blocking injections. Im not sure if it is something to do with my neck as well (something pushing on a nerve).
If it was nerve compression then it may create more of local symptoms rather than blurring of vision. There are changes of a vascular compromise in the brain. You may need an MRI angiogram of the brain. Consult with your doctor.
