dizziness

My husband had a stroke in july 2014   ... it affected his left eye vision, hearing, and he continued to have dizziness and balance issues even after a recent MRI showed no changes ... has been to a nuerologist who said he could give him something for headach but nothing can be done about dizziness ... He takes 75mg of plavix before going to bed.  He has heart issues .. stents implanted couple times ///  he can deal with all of that ...but the continued dizzness is very stressful ... do we need to change doctors and go out of our area ... he is very upset ... no one seems to take his problems serious .. have not even said there is any options ... please advise as to what our next step should be ... thank you so much

Get fresh ginger, take a half-dozen fresh cut slices and steep it in a cup of hot tea for ten minutes. Remove the slices and drink.

Will this really work? I can't shake this dizziness due to my stroke back in 9/2013. And depression.

He has probably been prescribed Meclizine, which is the standard treatment.

Try this (and it probably won't work).

Get fresh ginger, take a half-dozen fresh cut slices and steep it in a cup of hot tea for ten minutes. Remove the slices and drink.

Do this four times a day.

Ginger tea is a 3000 year old remedy for dizziness and seasickness.
