What Causes Constant Dizziness, Vertigo And Headache?

Hi, I woke up suddenly dizzy on October 5th. Prior to that, the week before I had spells of imbalance and spinning. For the past 7 weeks I have had constant dizziness, spells of vertigo and headache. I have had every test possible done at the ENT. I was sent to a neurologist for a complete work up and their only thoughts are it could be a vestibular migraine. I have been on medicine for 4 weeks with no relief. The only medicine that has relieved my symptoms is steroids. As soon as I am off the steroids my symptoms come back. My blood work throughout all of this has shown elevated ALT, sodium and pottasium. I had an ultrasound of my liver and am waiting for those results. Could elevated liver levels and electrolytes ause dizziness? Thank you, Theresa Henson

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have constant dizziness, vertigo and headache. The symptoms you mention in query occur due to wide range of reasons like migraines , head injury , disturbed electrolyte imbalance, certain medications and due to cervical spondylosis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist once and start treatment after proper examination. For now i would like to suggest you some home remedies drink green tea with ginger thrice a day and drink lots of fluids like juices and water . Avoid caffeine product,. Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug , sedatives , antibiotics in case of infection , vestibular therapy and recommend balance therapy or physiotherapy.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
