Hi,

Thanks for posting your query. I understand what you are suffering through right now. I am sorry for you. This seems something more than Vertigo. It is either possible that your blood pressure is constantly low making you feel this way or there is something in your brain itself causing this.

I would like you get a plain CT scan of your brain done at the earliest, as I do not want you to suffer this longer. Any lesions in the brain will be ruled out with this investigation. Also, get your blood pressure recorded. I hope your hemoglobin is normal and that you eat normally on time. It is better to check your blood glucose levels as well.

I wish you recovery quickly and get back to normal life. Hope this helps you.

Regards,
I find this answer helpful
