Although i have some of the symptoms, my ENT doctor already considered some of the inner ear diseases. My neurologist also mentioned to me that this could be an inner ear problem. She told me to avoid salty food and alcohol intake. It's been months since I stayed away from those things.
I'll again discuss the the inner ear problem with my neurologist. I'll also go to my ENT. I'll keep you posted.
Hi,
Other causes of dizziness include inner ear diseases like Meniere’s disease, ear infections, labrynthitis, and orthostatic hypotension.
In Orthostatic hypotension there is a sudden fall in BP when standing from sitting posture due to peripheral pooling of blood which results in lightheadedness.
Limb elevation when lying down and maintaining hydration helps.
Hi DrNoopurMD,
Yes i went to the optha. Btw, i'm wearing contact lenses, sometimes eyeglasses.
The doctor said the grade is ok for my eyesight.
I had my blood test recently. My blood sugar is normal.
About the headache, the neuro said that this is tension headache. The other doctor who performed the EMG/NCV told me that this is just stress and tension headache.
I don't know about the lightheadedness thing though. And I don't really feel dizzy. The world is not spinning. It's more of a balance problem to me and the lightheaded feeling is there.
What are the other possible cause of this lightheadedness?
Hi,
Have you been to an ophthalmologist? Poor eyesight, low blood sugar and dehydration can cause lightheadedness and headache.
Excessive stress, anxiety and fatigue can also cause dizziness and headache. Sometimes hyperacidity can present as dizziness and headache especially when there is gas formation.
Please discuss these possibilities with your treating doctor. Do keep us posted!
