Health Q&A
Feeling dizziness
Dear Doctor, I am a 27-year-old male experiencing recurrent episodes of dizziness and imbalance. I do not feel that the room is spinning. Instead, I feel as if there is movement inside my head, which makes me feel dizzy and off-balance. I often feel like I may lose my balance or fall, especially while standing, walking, or travelling on a bike or in an e-rickshaw. My recent health check-up showed: • Vitamin D: 13.7 ng/mL (Deficient) • Vitamin B12: 167 pg/mL (Low) • Platelet Count: 117 × 10³/µL (Low) • HDL: 23.7 mg/dL (Low) • LDL: 131.4 mg/dL (Borderline High) My blood sugar (Fasting Glucose & HbA1c), thyroid profile, kidney function, iron studies, ESR, and urine tests were normal. Could my symptoms be related to an inner ear (vestibular) disorder or another balance-related condition? Please advise if I need an ENT examination, hearing assessment, vestibular function tests, or any other investigations. Thank you.
Chronic Throat Dryness
I have been experiencing a throat problem for the past few years. After speaking continuously for 15–30 minutes, my throat becomes dry, heavy, and eventually chokes up, making it difficult to continue speaking. This significantly affects my work, as I regularly conduct meetings and presentations. I consulted two ENT specialists, underwent endoscopic examinations, and tried allergy treatment, inhaled medication, Ayurvedic treatment, and Panchakarma. Despite spending nearly ₹1 lakh, I have not found a lasting solution. I am looking for a specialist with experience in diagnosing and treating similar voice or throat disorders related to prolonged speaking, as previous evaluations have not identified the underlying cause.
