What Causes Severe Persistent Dizziness?

I started getting these dizzy spells about two maybe I think it s been longer than that. Today last night I had gotten a little talkative with my son and his friend. I went to my room and started cleaning up and I have some things happen back far in the past that for the last two years I would once a month and sometimes a few days and sometimes a little longer except in the beginning. I have done all the research that would put a organization on blast to the world. I go in to hyper focus most of the episodes and others I get memory after memory that I see a lot clearer today than when it happened. So I want to use the one time of what I thought was so scary kinda because it was everything I would say and something I wanted to do with most of the really intelligent way I was saying these findings or whatever I would at the end of this statement or finding something was a whole different because I never got to finish because I went completely blank and could not remember what I was even talking about. I just looked at something while I was thinking and remembering things I would go blank. I said at least thirty times throughout this going on with me. I think it was around 1:30am and I didn t notice when or why it just stopped but 5:34am is the only thing I remember from that time this morning until I went down and ate something and I came and this was on my iPad when I opened it and I remember what happened to me and how worried I got. I said earlier about the example for maybe you will see the degree of how fast I would forget what I wanted to say or do. I got a number I needed to hurry up and right down so I didn t forget because I all of the sudden had it pop in my mind. I picked up a index card and pen and before I even got it half way off the dresser I said I completely forget the number like it was never even thinking about writing down at all. That happened again a few hours later. I jumped from something I was thinking, to a complete different thought or subject as if the first thing I was thinking never existed. So, I don t know if you hear how much this was a concern because of the complete loss of any thing I just had been saying to myself and then I was completely lost and could not remember what I was even thinking to get to the end of all the thoughts or numbers and whatever I was doing, I could have been almost to the end of a well known story and before I got to the end to finish the story it was a complete mystery to me what I was even thinking about. Hopefully my very long and sorry for that, explanation of what was happening will give you a good idea of what I was going through. I thank you for your time and your opinion on what you think or say about this.

Neurologist 's  Response
Hello,

First of all, you should measure your blood pressure, and if it were high you should receive a medical treatment, take Aspirin twice per day after meals and do an ECG and an ECHO on your heart, besides decreasing salt and fat intake every day.

If you are a woman and you take oral contraceptive pills or hormonal replacement therapy, you should ask a gynecologist for help.

Second, you should take vitamin B complex once per day after meals and Benfotiamine 40 mg twice per day after meals. Vitamins B complex are essential for memory.

The results of the ECG and the ECHO can help us with your diagnosis.I hope I answer all your questions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dr/Mustafa, Neurologist
