Answer 1

Dizziness: Does the room spin when you turn your head, then you might have Benign positional vertigo, Read below for more info and treatment: http://sim.stanford.edu/resources/smg_patient_info/VERTIGO03-10.pdf

Answer 2

Vertigo: It is called Benign Positional Vertigo. Benign Because it is self limiting, Positional= In certain head Position Vertigo= Unsteady feeling, Dizziness. Something like Sea Sickness. Can be treated with OTC medicine Like Meclizine Can happen because of inflammation of Inner Ear. If it is recurrent and does not better in a week, need to consult your doctor

Answer 3

BPPV: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Common although you're slightly on the younger side of when we tend to see it but that's OK....we mostly see it in women compared to men. Get to a good neurologist who believes in proving the diagnosis and teaching you the Brandt-Daroff exercises or doing an Epley maneuver as opposed to just medicating you because they basically don't work well. Good luck

Answer 4

ENT & Neurology: The specialties of oto-rhino-laryngology (ENT) and neurology ususally deal in a specialty sense with dizziness. Your pcp may be the place to start. Not all dizziness requires specialist referral or care.

Answer 5

ENT/neurology: Neurologists and neuro-otologists deal with dizziness.

Answer 6

Tinted glasses: Until you can do something more definitive try sunglasses for yourself. If appropriate you could see about getting tinted glass to cover the light fixture. See if your employer would consider a dimmer switch. If you are overly sensitive to the light compared to your colleagues you might want an eye exam to make sure it is not something going on with the eyes www.Medac4u.Com.

Answer 7

Talk to your boss: You can consider decreasing the light around you, or consider polarized glasses or tinted glasses.

Answer 8

Stop taking the meds: If the diagnosis was made by a primary care physician or urgent care and she is taking antivert/meclizine... She should stop the medication which can prolong recovery. If she is continuing to have symptoms, she should see an ENT and get a "balance test" (eng) to confirm the diagnosis. She may also need an mri.

Answer 9

Testing: Be sure that she has seen an ENT and appropriate testing has been ordered.

Answer 10

No simple answer...: Dizziness and fatigue is one of those things that we usually need a detailed medical history and physical to figure out. So many medical systems can cause dizziness: neurological, cardiac, vestibular, endocrine. It could be low blood sugar, low blood pressure, too little sodium, a medication side effect.... List can be pages long. I recommend having a thorough visit with your doctor.

Answer 11

Dizziness: If this is a chronic issue, it warrants evaluation so that a treatment plan can be developed.
