For the past 10 days, my husband has  been experiencing occasional dizziness.  The first time, he thought he might pass out and his face got very red.    It goes away after a short time.  He went to his doctor who gave him an antibiotic (z-pak) and  meclizine.   The meclizine gives some relief, but he is still having the dizzy spells sometimes with nausea.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Dizziness and vertigo are some of the more common problems. The main causes are: (1) benign paroxysmal positional vertigo-in this case the vertigo only lasts a few seconds and comes on with certain head positions. This is treated by the doctor performing a specific maneuver (Ella or Lemont).(2) deniers disease-lasts minutes to hours, may be associated with ringing in the ears and hearing loss. This is treated by a low salt diet and diuretic medication.(3)vestibular neuritis- in this case the episode lasts for days at a time. Nausea occurs, may be related to a previous viral illness. There is medication that is used for a short time that would help his symptoms do not resolve, he should re visit his doctor for another evaluation. I hope this helps
