Suggest Treatment For Constant Dizziness While Having Dementia

i am 58 years old. i am 5 10 tall and my weight is 170lbs . i have been diagnosed with dementia i have had two MRI s with no change and they are both ok. I have had an ultrasound on my throat and it was also ok. My next step is to go to my eye doctor who is also an MD, my thinking is I will go to ear, nose,throat doctor next. i am dizzy all the time.

Hello I have gone through your question and understand your concern.

Dementia is clinical diagnosis and it is defined by progressive loss of cognitive functions abd memory abilities. I think you underwent several test before making the diagnosis.
The MRI simetimes is associated with brain atrophy in frontal and temporal lobes.
It is not clear for me what was the US of the neck for, while I suppose the ENT consult is for the dizziness.
If the dizziness would be peripherical it is self limitting. Anyway you can benefit from betahystine. Your ENT doctor will provide it for you if he feels you have benefits from this treatment. It does bot interferes with eventual dementia.

Hope this answers your question, please feel free for further questions.

Wishing you good health.
