Brief Answer: consultations of a ENT surgeon. Detailed Answer: Hello Mr XXXXX, Welcome to HCM. your symptoms consistently match Meneirs disease, especially because you are evaluated and diagnosed. Avoiding sudden changes in posture, salty foods, and smoking can reduce the frequency of attacks. You can manage your disease with consultations of a ENT surgeon. you can consult cardiologist on as and when required basis, as your cardiac disease is stable. Your urinary infections can be managed by a Urologist.

Dear sir , I have consulted Dr. K.K XXXXXXX neuro Physician, Ranchi and it was told that there is no indication of Mennier disease. There is no hearing loss after 1995 incident. He suggested that this is EPISODIC VERTIGO and medicine to be used in attacks. Now I want that how to get rid of attacks. Please suggest Best Hospital where type of EPISODIC VERTIGO can be treated. I am very puzzled . During attack falling within no seconds causing physical damage to me. Though it has happened on 23rd Jan'2014 one time only. Otherwise before attack some sensation of jerks experienced for few seconds. Last jerk was on 28 th March'2014 where i felt jerk, then Unbalance. I sat for few minutes but could not be controlled. Eyes were not stable. Then Nausia and vommiting took place. After 45 minutes i could stabilize myself. Regards XXXXXXX
