Suggest Remedy For Dizziness And Dry Mouth

I have a spouse that is having vertigo. She is experiencing the room spinning mostly at night and some in the day. Smells bother her at times and she gets dizzy as well when not spinning. Today is the 5th day of this and she is unsure of what is going on. She has been stressed lately, and a bit dehydrated as well. But, nothing out of the ordinary. This came on suddenly. She experience something like this a year ago when a bit dehydrated as well, but that went away within 2 days. The same feeling of spinning in the night and dry mouth, but no specific stress issues at the time. Do you have any advice for this situation? Thanks.

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

Her situation could be related to anxiety or an inner ear disorder.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with an ENT specialist for a physical exam and labyrinthine tests to exclude an inner ear disorder.
It is also necessary performing some other blood lab tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolytes, vitamin D levels for possible deficiency).
You should discuss with her doctor on these tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards, Dr. Aida
