Dizziness Related to Shingles of face
by Barb113, Nov 18, 2007 04:36PM
I was extremely dizzy for a week before I got Shingles on my face from my lip to my eye. Then when I was on Valtrex & Prednisone the dizziness left. Once I finished the medication the dizziness has returned pretty severely. It's never gone, is worse in the morning though. Is there a connection between the two? My doctor is ordering a brain scan as a result of his examination.
Thank you.
Thank you.

If the herpes infection has caused a vestibular neuritis (inflammation of the inner ear apparatus responsible for balance), that could explain the dizziness.
It would be a good idea to await the results of the scan.
