I'm experiencing this odd sensation, like an earthquake, where it feels like my bed or something at the back of my head is moving back and forth when I'm trying to fall asleep. There's no nausea or headache, but I've been noticing this faint beep in my left ear for a while now. The sensation seems to worsen when I sleep for a longer time. I've been taking Vertin for 23 days, but it doesnt seem to be helping. Is this something I should be worried about? What steps should I take next?

it can be BPPV you can take ENT consultation for better understanding and treatment

I'm a 47-year-old woman and I've been experiencing some concerning symptoms lately. For about a week now, I've been feeling really weak and dealing with vertigo, especially when I'm sleeping and when I wake up in the morning. I just started taking vertinstar 16 two days ago. On top of that, my periods have been irregular. I'm really starting to worry about what's going on. Can you help me understand what might be causing these issues?

It sounds like you're experiencing symptoms of vertigo and weakness, which could be related to several factors, including hormonal changes given your irregular periods. Since youve started taking Vertinstar, it may help with the dizziness, but I recommend consulting with your doctor for a thorough evaluation, as these symptoms could indicate an underlying issue like dehydration, blood pressure fluctuations, or an inner ear problem.
