A Year with Dyskinesia and Vertigo: Still Searching for Answers
Patient's Query
A year ago i was hospitalized for a week and was diagnosed with dyskinesia, I had involuntary leg and head movements, I had tics sometimes light headiness and palpitations. After seeing a neurologist I was diagnosed with peripheral vertigo..gave me diazepam but after a week I was told to stop it after I told my physician that I was not walking properly...I couldn't walk in a straight line and that's when she prescribed me a different medication cinnarizine and pyridoxine. Now a year after I find myself not getting better. I'm having difficulty breathing (occasionally), my legs are stiff and I'm having tremors on both of them and on my hands but the right hand and leg are worse, specific movement of the tongue makes me feel familiar symptoms and despite drinking medication I still feel dizzy sometimes especially at night, when I close my eyes or In a dark place. Sometimes I feel stiffness on my hips and start walking strangely, my entire body feels strange..like I get shivers. Sometimes I feel like bending my back outwards sometimes I feel like hugging my knees and staying in that position A month ago I had swelling on my head that I could not understand where it came from it wasn't painful it was itchy and sometimes gave me a headache, I always get red spots which are itchy on both my legs, now I constantly have difficulty breathing. I feel like despite taking the medication I was prescribed nothing is getting better but worse. It's been a year of taking medication and still I'm not getting better.
Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
It sounds like you're experiencing a complex neurological condition that may not be fully addressed by your current treatment plan. Despite being diagnosed with dyskinesia and peripheral vertigo, your ongoing symptoms—such as tremors, stiffness, dizziness, breathing difficulty, and skin reactions—suggest that there may be underlying or overlapping issues that haven’t been thoroughly evaluated. It's critical to seek a second opinion from a neurologist (preferably one specializing in movement disorders) and possibly consult a multidisciplinary team that includes a rheumatologist and a dermatologist.
