Report

I am 54 years of age. During this past year, I have been diagnosed with cervical degeneration (c4) which led to positional vertigo. This has considerably affected my confidence. The ongoing pandemic has left me feeling especially isolated. I haven't stepped out for nearly 8 months which made me feel estranged from my siblings. Off late, my entire family along with my sister's family have been victims to covid-19 infection. With the history of mild asthma, this attack resulted in anxiety - experiencing physical symptoms such as: -palpitations, -gastritis, -head reeling, -mild chest tightness -insomnia - occasional fullness of ear psychological symptoms include: -restlessness -preoccupied manner with uncontrollable overlapping thoughts (over thinking) -fear of future -ennui and mortality associated distress -loneliness as a result of a recently married daughter and a son bound to study abroad -sole ownership of all responsibilities being the eldest sibling. (burdened by thinking that only i'm the sole caretaker of everything) -dread at dusk -irritability and mood swings at times however, I have no family problems or financial pressure. Kindly advise on the course of action further.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user,
ideally, your doctor who prescribed the medication is the one who you should discuss this issue with. Mostly optineuron is used in cases of nutritional deficiency and other times in specific cases with neurological issues. However optineuron injection is a multivitamin injection commonly administered once a week and has a higher concentration of the drugs than those available in tablet form. You may safely take one optineuron forte tab on a daily basis in the morning a...more

Dear lybrate-user,
one of the common causes for dizziness in patients with long standing blood pressure issues is either uncontrolled high blood pressure or low blood pressure especially on standing up, what we call postural hypotension. Your physician / cardiologist can help with this. Not all cases of postural hypotension will need medication and in those patients being aware and learning management techniques will go a long way in symptom control. Since there is a fainting feeling, and bl...more

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, since you have been having symptoms over a long time, it is very important that you see a good ent surgeon and identify the problem so the correct treatment can be given. It would be depressing and stressful to anybody if they have to put up with symptoms over along time. If the correct diagnosis is made then yes your problem can be managed well but for that you need to first consult a good ent surgeon.
Best wishes.

Best to consult an ent specialist and a neurologist for a proper work up of vertigo. Are there any associated symptoms with it like vomiting, fever, headache? It is advisable to rule out any serious underlying pathology.

Hi mam
Exercises will help but very little .Its improvement depends on intensity and depth of the disease
Internal Homeopathic medicines will definitely help you to cure
Detailed case history is needed to give proper treatment and guidance
you can take an online consultation through lybrate app

Dear lybrate-user, you have already done several tests all pointing towards the fact that your vertigo is due to your ear problem and your brain. Such conditions require a thorough vestibular (ear) and neuro-otological (brain) evaluation) before any drug therapy be started. Though how you managed to get all these tests done is a wonder on its own. Yours sincerely.
