Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Uric acid level of 7.8mg/dl seems to be borderline high.
If you are taking alcohol and frequent non-vegetarian diet, kindly avoid it, as it would contribute to increased uric acid level.
Also, drink good quantity of water along with citrus fruit juices, which would help to bring uric acid level down and maintain within normal limits.
However, increased uric acid level does not contribute to cause dizziness. It might have happened due to decrease in hemoglobin level.
Kindly check your hemoglobin level in blood.
In case it is towards lower side, supplement with iron and hematenic vitamins namely Vitamin B12, Folic acid, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C by medication and diet. Also you need to supplement with proper quantities of protein.
Gradually, you should get better and overcome the problem.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran.S.,
