What Causes Bouts Of Dizziness, Nausea And Weakness?
i have been experincing these overwelming dizziness, nausea, weakness and need to lay down. i thought it was stress related,medication, or my bloodpressure. My dr. has adjusted by meds, and i have monitoreed my bloodpressure for a month. during that time my bloodpressure readings improved. and i stopped having the symtoms i mentioned earlier. feeling better went back to dr. with good news. Now 3 days later, on a weeekend, all my symtoms have worsened, and lasted all day, with a funny feeling in my chest. i dont want to go to ER i would rather wait tell monday. what should i do.? My dr. just told me no need to be concern about my heart or a stroke. I am 67 female,

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have problem of bouts of dizziness, nausea and weakness which is also known as vertigo. Well there can be many reasons for dizziness and nausea that is low blood sugar and iron level, Ear infection, Due to some medication, Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, Meniere's disease and Migraine. Sometimes low blood sugar level or low blood iron level can also cause such symptoms. You should take proper rest , avoid bending forward , take a light walk daily and drink green tea thrice a day. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain tests like CT scan , blood test , rotatory chair test, posturography and examination with otoscope . Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug , antibiotics ( gentamicine ) at least for 10 days , hearing aid and recommend vestibular therapy. Try to make yourself relax , do meditation and yoga , eat healthy .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
