Dear Doctor
I have been treated twice in the past year for labyrinthitus. But for several months now I have suffered with dizziness, mainly when I lie down or tilt my head to the side or lean back.
I was sent for a hearing and balance test but this was clear and I was prescribed with the same tablets as for labyrinthitus. I have a feeling of pressure on the top of my head, which feels as if I
am carrying a heavy weight around. It is worse if I bend down, travel in a car or eat. I sometimes have shaky blurred vision which only lasts seconds.
I recently had blue hands although a blood count proved o.k. I don't know if any of this is connected.
Please help.
