Hi sir. 5 months back early morning when wake up at 4 am felt a spinning left side but not when turned to left side. Felt so for 3 days. After three days no spinning but felt dizziness and a walking imbalance. It is still continuing. When consulted doctor prescribed vertin16. Used it for about one month but no use. Later used digitec tablet for about 2 months. Feeling better than past. But still feeling body moving while walking. Brain scanning done but the doctor said that everything normal after having a look at the scanning. In report mentioned mild communicating hydrocephalus. Doctor had not considered it at all and said everything is normal. please give me your advise. I am 45 unable to perform at work like before. At present doctor prescribed me to take encorate chrono. I have no fits but feel imbalanced while walking. Shall I use these tablets? Today lumbar spine ct scan done. The report says 1.a diffuse circumference extradural disc bulge seen at the l-3/4, l4/5, and l-5/s-1 causing mild thecal sac compression 2. early degenerative changes in the form of anterior osteophytes are noted at l4 to l5 le.

Hello, most likely you had vertigo at onset which has improved gradually though ypu still have some features of dizziness. It will improve gradually but if symptoms worsen you can repeat vertin. The communicating hydrocephalus is an incidental finding not causing your symptoms so do not worry about it. Encorate chrono need not be taken for these symptoms. The ct scan lumbar spine changes are normal at 45 years of age and again nothing to be done about it, you can consult a physiotherapist for strengthening of back muscles.
