Suggest Treatment For Vertigo And Dizziness Episodes
I get dizzy and feels like vertigo. Sometime there is a migraine over right eye area. If I lay down I m alright for a while but feel sick. The moment I stand up I have to vomit. I feel good for the next 15 minutes then it starts over again. I can t keep anything down not even a drink of water. Finally when I ve dry heaved til nothing is left but bile it stops. Some times feels like fever symptom .
I can understand your concern. You are having symptoms like vertigo especially in some body positions. You have feelings of sickness and vomiting on bending down or on standing after sitting for some time. Such type of symptoms should be evaluated properly. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), Postural hypotension etc are common conditions that should be ruled out. Visit an otolaryngologist for proper evaluation. Table tilt test can help to rule out the condition and possibility of syncope.
For postural hypotension measurement of BP in lying down position and then in standing position is done. For such symptoms medicines like Betahistine, Cinnarizine, Dimenhydrinate combination etc are used. These drugs help to reduce the symptoms of vertigo and dizziness. If any specific cause is found then that should be treated accordingly. Visit a doctor for help.
Thanks, Hope this helps. Good Luck
