What Causes Sudden Dizziness And Nausea After Measures For Rodent Control?

Hello! I am writing on behalf of a friend. On November 14th, they placed some rodent control down in their home, and then returned from work a few hours later to sleep. But, in the middle of the night he began to feel dizzy, and it didn’t stop through to the morning, where it became so strong that he began to vomit. Nothing helped, over and over again there was dizziness, he could not even open his eyes, and occasionally vomited. He visited the hospital to receive injections, unfortunately I do not know which ones. After about a week vacation, during of which the friend could not properly walk but was getting better, he managed to get back to work for one day. The next day after returning to work, the dizziness reappeared, fortunately not as strong and without vomiting, so the hospital drip was helpful. After 2 weeks, he was able to go on holiday abroad, as he felt almost well, but he got an almost identical attack, like the first time, together with vomiting. Of course, he went to see a doctor, but the Spanish doctor only suggested what it might be, because he was not able to carry out appropriate studies, however, the drip helped again. Almost immediately, after returning from the trip, he went to the doctor in Poland, where he initially found it to be Labyrinthitis and he prescribed Torecan, and in the event of an emergency to take Betaserc 3 times a day, with something that sounded like Polfilina, although he didn’t need to stay in Hospital. In general, several doctors initially diagnosed the disease, an inflammation of the labyrinth. Symptoms - - Dizziness or the so-called feeling, as if he was about to feel dizzy (now the dizziness is gone, and feeling , disappear after the Torecanie and the rest) - Vomiting, which does not happen often, but he has episodes, which I described above there - Trouble walking, feeling so insecure he has to hold on to something if he goes a further distance, but is now getting smaller - Shaking vision of objects in the background - some 6-9%, but still there - No problems with speech, paralysis, atrophy of memory, etc. - Quite frequent headaches of varying severity, but it has occurred much before the disease, probably due to improper lifestyle and stress - Can use cell only for a few minutes (in the sense of looking at the screen, but can talk for longer) - Inability to watch TV, because almost immediately he feels, as dizziness is about to happen. - If you look long at something, the vision seems “wavy” - Nystagmus - although currently lacking it. The doctor also ruled out a tumor, because it was carried tomography. It was noted depth cervical lordosis, tightening the rear edge stems from C4 to C6. Carotid arteries are fine. The MRI didn’t show anything wrong. Currently, the patient s condition is quite okay, apart from the trembling or “wavy” vision, or pulling sensation on the sides (which, however, sometimes disappears). Generally the disease lasted since November 14th 2015 - is it possible that there is an inflammation of the labyrinth, which just takes so long to heal? Of course, he is sick at this point and cannot work and is staying at the clinic, giving up rehabilitation.
