Nosebleed, Dizziness, Fainting After Stomach Virus. Any Ideas?

In august i suffered from a stomach virus that really knocked me out. I spent one day sleeping on the couch because i felt too weak to do in anything. After a while it passed and i got better but the problem came later. I had been getting to bed late and getting up late as well but felt fine even so. But one day after getting up early (having been woken up by my dad) i fainted maybe an hour later.Before so i got dressed and ate etc.. but whilst i was brushing my teeth i got a nosebleed and i started to feel dizzy. I went to sit down and then got up 5 minutes later whereupon i felt extremely dizzy and went upstairs to warn my sister and it s there that i fainted and was unconscious for a couple of seconds. I later went to see a doctor but they said it wasn t serious. I got a blood test done and everything was fine. I suffered from dizziness for a week approximately then it went away but now it s back and i m feeling as dizzy as before. Any ideas on what this could be ?

Hi,
You have not mentioned your age.
If you are elderly then you require evaluation of your case with physical examination and investigations.
Go for your blood pressure check up as soon as possible.
In case of sudden raise of blood pressure one gets bleeding from nose and can become unconscious due to transient ischeminc attack.
Consult physician and get examined.
Ok and take care.

the virus can affect internal ear fluid endolymph due to salt disturbances
and as the person moves the internal ear if having salt disturbances can cause this
get ct scan internal ear and find the cause to treat in consultation with ent specialist
mean while can take betahistine tab nbd
antacids
and your gums and nasal mucosa might have been weekened due to virus cause blleed
apply neomyci h ointment in nose bd
sea water 2 drops at night in nose
triamsolone mouth paint locally
and other supportive therapies
