Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I sat down to watch the news,dozed off for about 10 minutes,woke up dizzy and had a balance problem.About 20 minutes later I was starting to feel sick at my stomach,still unsteady on my feet,this lasted about an hour and a half.As I type this I am starting to feel better.This is the first time this has happened to me.I m 82 years of age.
Stomach discomfort was present, so could be viral gastritis like infection...
Your blood pressure and blood sugar level should be checked as it is very commonly associated with dizziness... Hypotension and hypoglycemia if present corrected accordingly....
If your dizziness problem continue than ontological examination might needed to rule out ontological causes...
CBC along with peripheral smear examination done to rule out anemia
Consult physician for your examination
Take care
