Answer 2

I have a disorder called Menieres. It sounds as though he does as well. The meclizine is only useful to me as a precautionary med (if I feel abit 'off' I will take it hoping to prevent an episode). There is also a suppository med that is awkward but alas still feasible when the vertigo and vomiting are full blown (I keep one partially opened and ready right on my toilet tank). There are dietary recommendations as well...keeping to a low-sodium and low-caffeine diet. (Plus, no or low nicotine.) Stress is also a major factor. It sounds as though your Dad is under alot of stress so this may definitely be affecting his 'disorder'. If he has a primary doctor then they should be referring him to a Ear, Nose, Throat Specialist for evaluation, treatment, prevention techniques, and possible surgery if necessary (it is an inner ear disorder and there are options to relieve some of the symptoms---unfortunately alot of docs will just say "sorry no cure" so it is imperative that he find a GOOD doc that evaluates him regularly (at least annually) and 'tweaks' his treatment if necessary. I hope this is of some use to you & him. You are both in my prayers.

Answer 3

You need to see a doctor who will prescribe appropriate medication.

I developed vertigo as I went into menopause, and was given some small pills to take periodically. Don't remember what they were, but they did the job quite nicely - and with no side effects.

Answer 4
