What Is The Treatment For Recurrent Dizziness, Chills, Nausea? Gravol Relieves. Diagnosed With IBS 20 Years Ago

Hi, I have had symptoms of dizziness (light headedness), nausea, chills for a month and 1/2 now. They come in spells. I feel nauseous, take gravol, rest and it passes after a few hours. My tummy curns and grumbles. After a spell I might be OK for a day or two (albeit with little appetite). and then it returns and the cycle starts again. Only gravol seems to get me through. I have had IBS diagnosed about 20 years ago, but this feels like a flu that is just not going away.

Hi Flu can not continue for one and half months . So this is obviously something else. This can very well be due to IBS or some form of enteritis . I would advise such patients to try medicines of IBS and see the response. May be you need to stop the food or beverages initiating or causing this problem. If the stools are foul smelling or not well formed i would try with cefixime or oflox if you are not sensitive to it.
