What Causes Dizziness And Heaviness In The Head?

Hello, I m really concerned a bout my health. I ve been feeling kind of dizzy, with kind of heaviness on the top of my head. Sometimes I get confused if it s coming from my stomach or my head itself. I ve seen my PCP, my ENT doctor, even went to the ER thinking I was having a stroke...but so far no one was able to find what s wrong with me ...I was misdiagnosed with severe ear infection, false alarm...

Hi,

As per my clinical experience, many of the cases of GERD are associated with heaviness in head due to underlying stress, anxiety or other co related factors. Kindly try to follow basic principles of care and follow up after a period of 5 days or earlier as per the requirement:
- One time ophthalmologist consulting for evaluation of visual acquity
- Keep stomach empty by 25 % of satiety level
- Manage reflux of abdomen contents if it happens after food intake
- Practice meditations, YOGA and particularly Bhramari pranayam, Kapalbhati and Anulom vilom
- Deep breathing exercises
- Walk in fresh air
- Avoid stress, anxiety
- Manage sound sleep of 7-8 hours
- Avoid smoking, alcohol or caffeine (if consuming)
- Analgesic as acetaminophen when required (pain scale above 4 of 10)

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
