I'm having this issue with dizziness, like when I get up from watching TV on the sofa, I feel really light-headed. It's been going on for about six months now. My diet seems fine, and I recently checked my blood pressure, which was 90 over 110, and they said that's normal. But if my blood pressure is okay, then what's causing this dizziness? I really need to figure out what's going on and how to treat it.

It sounds like you may be experiencing orthostatic hypotension, which is a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up, causing dizziness. Even though your BP is within a normal range, this condition can still occur. Its important to stay hydrated, rise slowly from sittinglying positions, and avoid sudden movements. If the symptoms persist, I recommend consulting with a doctor to rule out other causes, such as inner ear issues or blood sugar imbalances.

Question

I've been feeling really weird lately with this cold sensation inside the left side of my head. It's almost like there's cold liquid in there, and it's giving me a tingling feeling in my face. It's strange, right? I've also noticed that I get really sleepy when this happens, and sometimes I experience these intense hot flashes. Is there something I should be worried about? What could this possibly be?

My grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease about 8 years ago, but now the doctors are saying he has progressive supranuclear palsy. He's been on Syndopa, but it seems to be making things worse for him. He used to take Ropark, and that was working well. Should we consider going back to Ropark instead?

I'm going through treatment for Abdominal TB and since April 2016, my liver got affected too and I was close to having jaundice. My doctor switched up some meds, and now I'm on a daily streptomycin injection plan for 60 days. I'm on injection number 33, but lately, I've been feeling super dizzy all the time and find it hard to maintain my balance while walking. At first, I thought it might just be weakness, especially since I returned to work in mid-June, but when it persisted for 34 days, I saw my doctor again. He thinks it's Vertigo and gave me some medicine, but it's been 2.5 weeks and there's no sign of improvement. I even checked in with an ENT and the cochlear and audiometric tests turned out normal. I'm really getting anxious about this dizziness and imbalance. Do you think this can be cured, and should I be seeing a specific type of doctor for help? I can't even manage car rides anymore. Any advice or suggestions you might have would really mean a lot to me.
