What Is The Reason For Dizziness, Weakness, Vomiting, And Blurred Vision?
after several days of feeling off and dizziness, my husband became violently ill. He was very weak, vomiting and couldn't walk. his vision was blurred. We took him to ER and they said he had the flu. It has been 4 days and his vision is still a little off and although he is not vomiting anymore, he still seems to have trouble walking. In ER they did blood tests, xrays of he abdomen, and EKG and urine tests. Where do we go from here?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your husband needs detailed evaluation by an ENT doctor and neurologist.
This is because he could be having a vestibular dysfunction or a mild brain stroke.
After evaluation, a brain MRI scan may be needed to confirm the diagnosis. There are excellent medications available to treat your husband, and hence, there is no need to worry.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
