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.

Throat Discomfort
I’ve had mild throat discomfort since around June 4. The pain is about 2/10, occurs randomly around 7–8 times a day, lasts only 1–3 seconds, and is not consistent. After visiting a general physician and taking the prescribed medication, the stinging pain resolved. However, I now occasionally experience random episodes of dry throat. I’m also currently getting a wisdom tooth on the same side. I’ve attached a photo of my throat for reference (my tonsils have been visibly enlarged since childhood). I’m also very anxious because I gave oral sex to my boyfriend in 2023 and 2024. Last year, he developed an HPV wart on his palm, which was diagnosed by a doctor. He has never had any genital warts. I’m worried whether my current throat symptoms could be related to HPV and would like to know if any evaluation or tests are necessary.
