What Causes Dizzy Spells?

I was assaulted nearly 2 months ago.5 staples in the back of my head,and my 4 front teeth are gone.It was a plate,my original dr is no longer practicing,and I am still having dizzy spells,and fainted twice.I saw another dr twice,1 month after the assault,I told him all my symptoms and he told me if it continues-then see him.Well,after that visit,I am not at all confidant with him.I am also on ccpd,major depression,and physical injuries that I have had for years.EIA covers my perscriptions,but denied me a new plate.My dentist had told me last year I was due for a new plate.What can I do about a new plate,I only recieve 544 a month,and have part time custody of 5 yr old twins.So I cannot afford to buy a new plate all at once.Also,what can I do about my dizzy spells,and a good dr.If anything.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dizzy spells which could occur due to middle ear infection , some kind of growth in middle ear or fluid accumulation in middle ear, inflammation within the inner ear and acoustic neuroma , side effect of certain drugs and concussion. You should not ignore your symptoms because sometimes the condition get complicated. You should take proper rest , do not bend forward and do light exercise. You should start with antibiotics, steroids and labyrinthine sedatives for 6 to 8 weeks following vestibular rehabilitation exercises. All this needs clinical evaluation and medical assistance. Consult with your ENT specialist and neurologist to get evaluated. Doctor may order audiometry test , CT scan , MRI and tuning fork test and treat it accordingly .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
