What should I do for my dizzy feeling?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I do not want to be sound like I am panicking, but I really do feel quite uneasy. Since I woke up I feel dizzy. My head is rolling and when I close my eyes, I feel like the world is rolling around in a full speed. It never happened with me any time before. I just had my lunch now, but I do not feel to eat any due to the same. Please advise what should I do? Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on your description, it seems like you are experiencing dizziness. There are two potential causes for this: blood pressure issues and problems with your body's balance mechanism. So, I would recommend that you get your blood pressure checked and also a physician in person will be able to check if it is a balance problem by performing a physical exam. In the meantime, it is important to rest and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Additionally, providing your age would be helpful, as certain conditions can be age-related, leading to a more accurate diagnosis. Regarding medication, you may benefit from taking a Cinnarizine tablet to temporarily alleviate the symptoms. However, it is crucial to consult your doctor, discuss your situation, and obtain their consent before taking any medication.
