Have An Uncle Who Informed Me He Had An Episode
Have an uncle who informed me he had an episode this morning. Does have heart problems and some back problems. Said he bent over to turn a small heater on this morning and describes the following symptoms.
Had some dizziness yesterday, this morning had a major ordeal, after bending over to turn heater on, the room started spinning really hard, I fell against the door jam and held on. felt like I was on one of those spinning rides but not in a good way. I went to lay down and had a couple more times when it felt like the bed was spinning and I looked up at the ceiling and it looked like it was rocking back and forth.
He said he was going to go into a clinic this morning, does not have a general practitioner. I am wondering if he should coordinate some of his care with an internist? But also curious about possible causes for the symptoms above. He is 69 years of age.
