Wondering what is wrong with my wife?
Weird weekend, my wife had taken ill in an unusual way. We had volunteered to spend the weekend nearby at our son's home as he and his wife were attending a 2 day event so we arrived Friday night to look after the 5 grandkids. My wife said she had an ongoing headache all day which is not like her. When we got up on Saturday she said she felt so dizzy like the world was spinning. She said it was like the few times she's had way too much to drink and everything is floating. It seemed to make her nauseous, not like a tummy upset but more like you get if you get dizzy on a roller coaster or something. Didn't get any better during the day and we mostly stayed inside with the grand kids doing things. I finally took her to an urgent care clinic as it was a Saturday and we don't have a family GP anymore. The doctor was very thorough in his exam testing all kinds of reflexes and neuromuscular reactions and finally had a radiologist do a CT Scan which seemed to show everything okay as far as he and the radiologist could see; no sign of stroke.
Her bp was high but that may have been from feeling so sick but he prescribed a bp pill to be taken after checking her bp each morning, a antinasuea drug, baby aspirin and something for dizziness.
So, she slept well last night but is still dizzy this morning upon getting and moving about. Feels a slight discomfort in her left ear but no major pain. I'm thinking she may need to see an ENT for an inner ear inspection as this seems to be the only thing that seems logical for such a problem with equilibrium.
