Dizziness - #171

Hello Kavya, do you have any hyperacidity or abdominal pain along with nausea and vomiting?

Hey, sounds like you're going through a tough time with that dizziness and nausea. I can imagine how frustrating it must be. From an ayurvedic perspective, dizziness and such symptoms can sometimes be tied to Vata dosha imbalance, especially with those sudden movements or stiffness. You know, when you mentioned being outside and feeling cold — that could definitely factor in too. Cold can aggravate Vata, making things worse. Since you’ve already seen a neurologist and got an examination lined up — that's just perfect. It would give a clearer picture of what's up. Based on my knowledge, sometimes dizziness might be related to inner ear issues or even something with the cervical spine. You didn't mention if any scan was ordered, but those are often standard. About visiting an osteopath, it could be an option if everything points toward musculoskeletal issues, like neck stiffness or alignment. But I'd say wait on the neurologist’s feedback first. They might have more tailored insights. For now, try keeping warm, maybe have a nice ginger tea (but not too hot). Ginger can be quite grounding and good for Vata, plus it won't hurt. Gentle neck stretches can also help, but avoid anything too vigorous — slow and steady is best when dizziness is in the picture. Try and see if you can get some rest in a dim room, avoid any fast head movements. And be sure not experimenting with anything extreme before your appointments, ok? It's crucial to follow whatever the neurologist kinda suggests. Since seeing you're scheduled to meet them soon, you're on the right track, and they'll help ensure you're on the correct path with your treatment. Take care, and hope things ease up quickly!
