Question 1

i have a well defined tumor in the 4th ventricle. the only symptom i have light dizziness. what foods i should avoid and what should i focus on?

Accepted Answer

Brain Tumor: Without knowing more details, such as what kind of tumor you have, it's size, and proximity to the foramina, it is hard to offer definitive advice. You might want to read http://en.Uuuwell.Com/mytag.Php?Id=4903 which does address diet. Consult with your neurologist/ surgeon for advice on drinking alcohol, smoking, and drugs to avoid. As for diet, this is still controversial.

Question 2

after a few bites of food i get a vertigo feeling. it lasts a few minutes. ?

Accepted Answer

Vertigo: Treatment depends on remedying the underlying cause. Some remedies include use of antihistamines such as vistaril or benadryl, (diphenhydramine) or anticholinergic agents such as Cogentin &amp; atrovent &amp; spiriva &amp; dramamine. Consult your doctor.

Question 3

can you tell me about vertigo?what cause it and how to avoid it

Accepted Answer

Vertigo: In general vertigo is caused by abnormality in the inner ear, the brain or nerves that connect the two.  The ear / nerve is usually the culprit.  Meniere's disease, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and tumors of the nerve are often implicated.  Best way to treat depends upon cause.  This usually requires a visit to an expert for accurate diagnosis.

Question 4

how long will vertigo last after food poisoning?

Accepted Answer

See details: True vertigo (not talking about dizziness) is not a complication of food poisoning.

Question 5

allergy, intolerance, or viral? i get vertigo when i eat nuts, chocolate and caffeine, and basic dizziness from other foods. started after shingles.

Accepted Answer

Labyrinthitis: Depending on which nerve root was affected by your shingles outbreak, you may have "irritated" nerves that innervate the labyrinth, or balance centers of the ears.  If shingles was not a case of the head and neck area, then i recommend a simple blood test such as imunocap, which tests for food allergies, thus helping you identify allergies directly and minimize your exposure to them.

Question 6

food poisoning in turkey 4 days ago. bad diarrhoea bit omitting and vertigo. im still getting diarrhoea, how long do i wait before taking norfloxacin?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Do not start yourself on antibiotics without seeing a professional and establishing a diagnosis.  Antibiotics are not harmless.

Question 7

hi my husband has been puking since this morning, has serious vertigo + is off balance. im suspecting food poisoning but want to be sure. i gave him a pill for nausea, which is working. do i still take him to a doctor to check that its nothing else?

Accepted Answer

Agree with Dr. Lee: Make sure that he drinks enough water, soda, or electrolyte drinks to stay hydrated. If he is unsteady on his feet or develops difficulty, in breathing,  or has fever, you should take him to a hospital.
Wish you both good health!

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Monday illnesses?: It sounds like your symptoms need medical evaluation.  They may or may not be related to each other, but your next step would be seeing your doctor.  Be well.

Question 9

migraine then dizziness repeats. doctors tested & said either vertigo or high blood pressure. i control cholesterol & avoid fast movement. any advice?

Accepted Answer

Basilar migraine: It is possible that you may have basilar migraine if you have headache and vertigo together. Vertigo is  a spinning sedation/  drunk headedness. Dizziness id feeling of fainting sensation, blurred vision. So, it depends on which dizziness you are describing.If it is(vertigo) occurring with head or body movement, it is likely benign positional vertigo. If it is associated with throbbing occipital h.

Question 10

13 years ago a piece of raw carrot got into in my throat and made a hole where food gets into my sinuses now i'm getting vertigo could it be from that?

Accepted Answer

That depends: Did you have this "hole" closed? If no then it is very likely that you have a sinus infection from food getting where it doesn't belong. This could cause vertigo. If you did have this "hole" properly treated and closed, then it is unlikely that the two events  are related. Regardless you need to be evaluated by your doctor now to figure out what is going on.
