I am getting married this month. Please help me. I met with minor road accident in 2020. There was no injury to head. Head scanning was clear.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query

I have gone through the attached documents.

Most common cause of giddiness is vertigo. I would like to know what are the medication you have been advised and taking.

Also, I would recommend you to get a MRI of the brain to rule out any other cause of giddiness.

Amongst the blood test results your shared blood sugar seems mildly deranged. You may have to get HbA1c done to rule out diabates which again is one of the cause of giddiness.

Waiting for your response

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Yes, Sonavert is a medicine for vertigo.

Well, there are many other medications like Cinnarzine, flunnarzine etc which are advised as prophylactic treatment for vertigo. These medications prevent recurrence and minimize the need for sonavert.

I would anyway recommend a MRI brain to rule any cause of giddiness other than vertigo.

Hope, I answered your query

Wishing you good health
