What Could Cause On And Off Dizziness, Lightheadedness With Shaking Of Right Leg?

At intervals, I feel dizzy and light-headed once or twice a day. My doctor ordered Propionate nasal drops in December. More recently, I also have shaking in my right leg at the same time. The shaking is visible to those present with me at the time. I am on chemo presently, but I feel good otherwise and have no other heart, lung or otherwise problems.

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms could be related to chemotherapy adverse effects.
I would like to know more on your past medical history and the reason that you are on chemotherapy.
Anyway, considering the fact that you are on chemotherapy, I would recommend performing some tests:
- a brain CT scan or MRI
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes
- kidney and liver function tests
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction
- vitamin B12 and vitamin D plasma levels for possible deficiency.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Wishing all the best, Dr. Aida
