Suggest Remedy For Dizziness And Stomach Pain
For the past two weeks, on two occasions, I have felt dizzy and then tired and my stomach hurts a little. Have had diarrhea and then mild constipation. I did take Pepto Bismo at first and then Immodium, once for the diarrhea. The dizziness and stomach discomfort reminds me of symptoms when I ve eaten food in Mexico. I thought it might be from Thai food but it happened again this week and I don t see parallels. I just don t feel well. Ideas?

Hi,
Dizziness could be due to variety of causes or it could be transient.
Perhaps if the dizziness is not troubling your day to day work, then you may wait for few days. Until then you may take proper hydration and electrolyte balance with some symptomatic antihistamines treatment like betahistidine. Do not panic.
Stomach pain with altered bowel movements could related to gastroenteritis or irritable bowel syndrome.
However if the problem is persistent, you should see a doctor at the earliest and get evaluated further. I will suggest you undergo routine blood count, ESR, blood electrolytes, tests for vestibular (balance) system like electronystagmography or rotation tests to diagnose the cause for dizziness.
Your local physician or GP will know about the test. He/she will can order the test after complete history and thoroughly clinical examination like temperature, pulse, blood pressure which will enable us to arrive a diagnosis.
You may take symptommatic treatment meanwhile like antacids ( pantoprazole or rabeprazole) with betahistidine or cinnarizine for dizziness.
Regards,
