i feel i m drunk, i have change in my walking pattern, sleep patern, dizziness aggravates on any kind of discussion/confrontation, feeling of trembling, palpitations, uneasiness. i had no diagnosis in MRI brain, audimetry, TILT test, ECG, EEG. neurologist told its psychological and cardiologist and physician told its substance abuse cerebellar damage(alcohol and smoking). what the hell is this dizziness? Probably Vertigo or M茅ni猫re's disease.
I would suggest seeing an Ear Nose and Throat Specialist.

Meniere's Symptoms
M茅ni猫re's disease is usually characterized 4 symptoms.
1) Periodic episodes of rotatory vertigo or dizziness.
2) Fluctuating, progressive, low-frequency hearing loss
3) Tinnitus
4) A sensation of "fullness" or pressure in the ear. The definition of chronic dizziness is repeated (over at least 1 month) episodes of feeling dizzy, light-headed, faint, spinning or unsteadiness. When describing the dizziness a number of sensations are reported alone or in combination - see table 1. Among those who have chronic dizziness, it most commonly lasts either less than a minute (33 percent of people) or under 2 hours (40 percent.) About a third of people with chronic dizziness have daily bouts and the rest have only occasional episodes during a month.
There are a host of medical diseases which can produce dizziness - these include neurological entities related to brain blood flow like carotid artery or other cerebrovascular diseases and even heart problems such as aortic valve stenosis or congestive heart failure. There are other neurologic diseases such as Parkinson's, alcoholism and psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety can be associated with dizziness. Other medical problems like diabetes can cause dizziness, especially when blood glucose is low. A certain number of episodes are related to medications and combinations of medications. If you read your medication labels you will often find dizziness listed as a side affect and some of the medications cause orthostatic hypotension ( a condition in which standing causes the blood pressure to decrease) which easily explains dizziness by the mechanism of reduced blood supply to the brain.
A number of activities can also precipitate dizziness such as strenuous exercise with resultant dehydration - something that we at Seabrook can do in the summer if we are not careful about drinking plenty of fluids. Also, changes is position are commonly reported as precipitating events. Most people (74%) say their dizziness is provoked by several activities that tend to be related to motion. Some of the common activities reported by people who chronically experience dizziness are listed in table 2. What we do not know is whether anything can be done to reduce these triggering events such as getting up more gradually - this is preventive if the cause is postural hypotension, but postural hypotension is not the usual cause.
People with chronic dizziness do not have a higher mortality, heart attack rate, higher stroke or even higher hospitalization rate. All this means that dizziness does not seem to have an ominous health impact but there is an increased incidence of falls and fainting. They also have more problems with depressive symptoms, feelings of good health, and less social interactions. Please see the web pages for more details on Dizziness (Vertigo). Wow, never fails to amaze me that at least one of those specialists should have been able to help you. You simply have a Vitamin B12 deficiency. Other symptoms of B12 deficiency are nausea, inability to concentrate, moodiness, DIZZINESS, IMPAIRED BALANCE, INSOMNIA, fatigue and exhaustion, headaches,migraines, chest pain and PALPITATIONS AND NERVOUSNESS. The symptoms I have done in bold are the ones you are experiencing, very frightening if you don't know what's going on. Don't be afraid, you just need to start eating properly.
Foods rich in B12 are yeast, liver, eggs, milk, cheese and fish, kidney and pork.
Recommended daily intake for adults is 2mcg. I suggest you also go to the chemist and ask the pharmacist to recommend you a good brand of multi B complex tablets to buy. This multi B complex will include all the B vitamins, ie: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12. Do not buy them separately as they work best synergistically (together as a group). Do not buy synthetic vitamins (the cheap and nasty ones) as they are too hard to digest. Expect to pay about $25.00 AUD for a months supply.
For B12 to be properly assimilated through the stomach it is necessary to be combined with calcium during absorption to adequately benefit the body.
In the human diet B12 is supplied primarily by animal products, since plant products usually don't contain it.
B12 vitamins will alleviate your dizziness, clumsiness and tripping over yourself, insomnia, inability to concentrate, nervousness, palpitations and chest pains, nervousness. It will also increase you energy levels, maintain a healthy nervous system, relieve depression, improve memory, concentration and sweating in the hands and head.
If you are a vegetarian and have excluded eggs and dairy from your diet you need it is very important for you to take a supplement. If you keep regular "Happy Hours" and drink a lot, B12 is an important supplement for you. Heavy protein consumers also need extra amounts of this vitamin.
The B group of vitamins are water soluble and therefore the body can neither store or produce them. We need to supply our bodies with the B group of vitamins on a daily basis. In stressfull times our bodies will use more and we need to adjust our intake accordingly. Any excess that you take will simply be excreted in your urine.
If you choose to follow my excellent advice you will be very pleased and so will your wallet !! You will get release from ALL of your symptoms within 1 - 3 hours, or as long as it takes for your food/tablets to start being absorbed.
So now, tell me, I'm positive that you must also have sore lips, mouth and tongue, cracked and splitting skin around your fingernails and grainy and sandy feeling eyes??? If so, this also a vitamin B deficiency, vitamin B2 (Riboflavin). This vitamin will be included in the Multi B complex supplement that you buy. The recommended daily intake for this vitamin is 1.2 - 1.7mg for adults.
Foods rich in B2 are milk, liver, kidney, cheese, leafy green vegies, fish, eggs, yoghurt and beans.
So, there you go !! Long winded, I know and for that I apologise. However, it is obviously information you need to know for your future sanity, good health and peace ...... not to mention the amount of $$$ you've probably forked out in tests and the like .........................:0)
PEACE & GOOD HEALTH 2 U |
