What Would Cause Constant Dizziness, Like Feeling Drunk In A Person Having History Of One Grandmal Seizure During Childhood?

What would cause constant dizziness, like feeling drunk. Woke up and dizzy to walk, the night before I was fine. At age 3 had one grandmal seizure, doctor said I had activity in my brain and had test up to age 17, did not have any seizure since I was 9 and they were very mild. I m wondering if this could be related, I m 38 years of age.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Your current symptoms and the past history of seizures are not related. So, we need to investigate the cause.

Most likely, the dizziness could be due to peripheral vertigo- due to labyrinthine dysfunction. An ENT and neurological examination would be helpful.

For symptom relief, you can take betahistine tablets.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
