Patient's Query
Hello,
I have been suffering from dizziness or vertigo for the past two months. I am taking tablet Betahistine 8 mg thrice daily for more than two weeks. I am experiencing sneezing all day and having a feel of being out of breath and physically tired. I was diagnosed with hay fever last year. Could this be connected? Should I stop taking tablet Betahistine? Can I possibly trigger my allergies? What should I do?
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Tablet Betahistine may act on H1 and H3 receptors and act as a anti-allergic agents in few patients. So possibly the present symptoms may not be due to this drug. For hay fever symptoms you may use tablet Levocetirizine and Montelukast once a day for a week. If there is no improvement please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly. Take care.
