Suggest Treatment For Vertigo, Nausea And Dizziness
I had a neurointervention for a cerebral aneurysm 3 years ago where a stent was placed in my artery. About a year or so later I kept having tingling and sharp pain on the right side of my head where the aneurysm was. I also experienced the tingling on the right side of my face down to my neck. This included my tongue. That eased up a bit, but for the past 6 months it has now moved to the left size of my head, accompanied by a lot of ringing in my left ear. I also seem to get bouts of vertigo with naseau and dizziness. My fit D is also usually low.
• Vertigo is a symptom, rather than a condition itself and treatment depends on the right cause. You should see you GP if you have persistent signs of vertigo or it keeps coming back.
Medicines, such as prochlorperazine and some antihistamines, can help in the early stages or most cases of vertigo.
Also, we recommend: do simple exercises to correct your symptoms, sleep with your head slightly raised on two or more pillows, avoid bending down to pick up items, avoid extending your neck – for example, while reaching up to a high shelf.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon

Suggest Treatment For Vertigo, Nausea And Dizziness
Hi, • Vertigo is a symptom, rather than a condition itself and treatment depends on the right cause. You should see you GP if you have persistent signs of vertigo or it keeps coming back. Causes of vertigo may include: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, migraines – severe headaches, labyrinthitis – an inner ear infection. Medicines, such as prochlorperazine and some antihistamines, can help in the early stages or most cases of vertigo. Also, we recommend: do simple exercises to correct your symptoms, sleep with your head slightly raised on two or more pillows, avoid bending down to pick up items, avoid extending your neck – for example, while reaching up to a high shelf.
