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.

I presume it was treated with concurrent chemoradiation.
The cisplatin drug which is used for the chemotherapy is usually responsible for the hearing loss, which is usually temporary, but may be permanent in a few patients. Better to see your medical oncologist and a good ENT surgeon for the same.
Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss this further.

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!

Hello,
Treatment options in recurrent cervical cancer is very limited.
The management mainly depends on the primary treatment received and the site and extent of recurrence.
In your case as the patient had already received chemoradiation, so in case of recurrence the only viable option remains is of carboplatin or cisplatin based chemotherapy. Despite treatment, the prognosis is guarded.
