Vertibil 8 MG Tablet Health Feed

Asked for male, 58 years old from Shimla

Report

I am 56 years old and do lot of work on computer/laptop. I started feeling slight giddiness once in a day or 2 in the evening hours after full days work. We have got a family history of vertigo (father, sister etc.). I used Vertin 8 mg twice a day. I feel quite relieved and sometimes again I feel the same. Secondly I am also doing neck exercises as prescribed in You Tube. Please suggest remedies how can I get rid of this problem. Since, I am an official connected with computer desk job I can not do away with this. This giddiness remains for less than a minute or so, when I need to catch hold of some thing to avoid loosing stability. No heart beat increases during this period. I do not have sugar, BP or any such issues except nasal allergies, which are also quite under control. I addressed a gathering for about 2 hours yesterday, on power point, after that I started feeling like sitting and could not stand comfortably. Please guide me how long can I use Vertin (betahistine 8 mg). Recently I got medical check up done, which was almost normal but slight marginal increases in triglyceride levels (270) and low D vitamin (14) for which I am using medicines like Rosuvas 5 mg and Nurokind D3 (1000 ug D vitamin) Best wishes.

Dear Sir
there are multiple risk factors in your case which can predispose you to vertigo. Firstly your age. Second and maybe the most important, your sedentary work style with long hours spent watching the computer screen. This posture leads to cervical problems which can lead to transient vertigo. The presence of abnormal lipid profile may also contribute in the form of arteriosclerosis (thickening of arteries). Kindly consult a neurologist to check for cervical spine and carotid vascular ...more

I am type 1 diabetic for 15 years, on novo mixtard 30/70 twice a day until last month. For last two years, my hba1c is disturbed. Recently after making a regular note of the my blood glucose levels throughout the day, for two months now, my doctor switched me to novomix 30/70. Even after that, the blood glucose levels, specially after lunch, arnd 7 pm, were elevated. Please note that I took insulin at breakfast and dinner time. Then I started taking it three times a day, before each meal. Now the blood glucose levels are better after lunch, but very sporadic in the morning over the last one week. I am also having problems in controlling hypoglycemic episodes. I have had many instances, when, fot example, if my fasting blood glucose level came out to be 60, and I took 5-10 gms of glucose, it shot upto 250. I am shocked because the ada advises 15 gms of glucose in an hypoglyic event. I have observed this in general, that whatever I eat (i eat mainly low glcyemic foods), my body's glucose senstivity is so high, that my blood glucose levels shoot up enormously. I am also suffering from hypothroidism for three years now. Recently, my urine microalbuminuria levels came out to be 180 microgram/mg of creatinine (two readings, spaced out over a month). In addition to insulin, I am also taking thyronorm 75 mg soon after I wake up, glycomet 500mg before each meal, voglibose 0.2 mg after breakfst and lunch, nervz-b after brkfst, telmisartan 20 mg after breakfast and storvas 10 mg at night. Please suggest what can I do to have a tighter blood glucise control, advise if I need to make dietary changes, chanes in insulin type or any other medications.

The problem may lie in any of the three
i) the dose and type of insulin is not properly tuned or working and it is not cared by your consultant.
Ii) your diet is not properly planned and some how not matching your need or
iii) your lab is giving wrong reports. For first two you can discuss your diabetologist he is suppose to give you a logical answer acceptable to a knowledgeable person like you. You are quite an educated person and aware of your disease. Your awareness about diabe...more

Hello lybrate-user,
How old are you?
Suffering from dizziness since 2 years is very painful, I can totally understand what you might be going through.
I see a lot of patients suffering from dizziness.
It may be caused due to loss of inner ear balancing mechanism which leads to dizziness sensation (Everything rotating around you)
Proper evaluation must be done.
Having BetaHistine would only give you a temporary relief if you are suffering from inner ear balance mechanism a...more

Stugeron is not the best Medicine to treat Minieres disease. I would recommend you do not self treat, but be under the guidelance of an ENT Surgeon. I would prefer Betahistine as the first drug to treat Minieres disease.
Get well soon!

Hi, basically novo mix is a newer insulin analogue with a mix of 30% short acting and 70% long acting insulin. On the other hand human mixyard is a conventional insulin. The difference is in their properties and effectivity.
