Question : I do not get medical cover for another month as I am a recent immigrant to the US. I have recently started to experience dizziness but in all other respects I feel perfectly well. Can this wait until I see my doctor in just over a month?
Brief Answer:
Situation awaits for now.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Since you refer only dizziness and no other health issues, I think your condition awaits until you see your Doctor, however, before to be sure about it is necessary to monitor your blood pressure for few days, because high blood pressure or its changes may cause dizziness.
If irregular values of blood pressure or new symptoms appear (headaches, nausea, vomiting, etc.) you should be checked by your Doctor before the expected time.
Healthy lifestyle ( no alcohol, no smoking, exercising, etc.) is necessary to improve your condition.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Kind regards.
