You should continue Vertin.

hi sir,
thanks for the response.
Yesterday afternoon i checked bp again and it was 118/79 in office clinic.
For almost a year i am in a feeling that vetigo is due to high bp. Yesterday i have taken vertin16mg twice and now it is better than yesterday but not completly cured.
do i need to get brain ct or any other test? what is the treatment for permanent cure of vestibular neuirits? how doctor will confirm if it is Vestibular N or not?
Can i go to gym with this problem? today i feel vertigo when i see upwards or bend down my head.
Vertigo is anyway related to gas problem or acidity problem?
thanks for the response.

Hi Sir,
I have taken vertin for two days and stopped. then after three days dizziness started again and it was worst yesterday. I went to see the same ENT doctor again and she tested something called positional testing and said result is negative. But even yesterday night i felt vertigo if lie down on right or back and nothing when on left side.
even today in the hospital vertigo was similar when i lie down on the hospital bed. But during the positional testing time i didnt feel vertigo. Then she asked me to continue vertin16mg for two weeks, twice a day and also asked me to do vestibular exercises.
Also she said i may go for brain MRI after 15 days or now.
Thenif the problem persisits VEMP and BERA.
Is it something serious? Brain problems causes this kind of vertigo?
Need your opionion on this.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You are most likely suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
You should continue vertin 16 mg twice or thrice for 2 weeks.
No serious problem likely.
You can get mri brain to rule out any cerebellar infarct.The possibility of this is less likely as the problem and vertigo is not permanent and posture dependent.

hi sir,
thanks for the response.
Position dependent in the sense it is worse when i lie down on right or back but it still there when i stand straight or sit in straight position.
doctor said in the positional test eye ball is not rotating so there is no problem of dizziness.
then she asked me to go for 15 days vertin or brain MRI.
cerebellar infarct - is this something related to brain tumors?
If it is VN is there any permanent cure? there is no other medicine to completely cure it?
And is it becz of life style and stress or any other infection in the body?
Please clarify

Brief Answer:
Get MRI and continue Vertin
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Cerebellar infarction is not tumor.
The presentation is unlikely to be tumor related.
Positional means it changes or aggravates with position change.
Get an Mri to rule out brain stroke.
Continue Vertin till then.

Less likely to be stroke

It is unlikely to have a stroke if such episode occurred 1 year back and reappear with similar features.
