Question : Hi my name is XXXXXXX I'm finally recovering from vestibular neuronitis and I'm also a body builder. If I start taking testosterone again since I have started not having vertigo issues or dizziness would that be ok or could I get a flair up of dizziness again. Thank you XXXXXXX

Brief Answer: Probably it will be back Detailed Answer: Dear XXXXXXX I am glad you are fine now. Teorically isn't seen any relation between testosterone and vertigo. Anyway is not reccomended to take testosterone because hormonal substances can cause presion changes and vertigo will be back. You should avoid caffein drinks and food too. Be carefull with exercises, not alloweded to do fast movements of the head or change the position of the body quickly . Wish you all the best Dr Eris Ranxha
