Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

For the last three days, I have been feeling light-headed. Today I noticed that it has become more severe. I feel dizzy when I move or even turn my head at the same time getting a tingling sensation and numbness in my hands and feet. I have neck pain and head pain. My throat is starting to feel sore when I swallow. My vision is blurry at times. Currently, I am taking antihistamines, antidepressants, sleeping tablets, anxiety pills, reflux pills, and blood pressure tablets.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

Maintain strict posture. Get a cervical spine X-ray. Feel free to follow up anytime with reports. Use a low cotton pillow and lie down straight. Do not place your arm under your head. Physiotherapy will help you. What is your current BP (blood pressure)? Get physically examined and investigated to rule out any medical condition and treat accordingly. Do gargling using warm water saline and do steam inhalation. Modify your diet. For details on diet please follow up. You can take the tablet Neurobion Forte (multivitamin) once daily after meals with water unless otherwise contraindicated. Avoid stress, strain, exertion, lifting heavy weights, rigorous exercises, etc.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take medications with their consent.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
