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.

Why I am feeling suddenly dizziness

Female | 24

Dizziness can make you feel like things are spinning or you're off balance. It can happen if you stand up too quickly, are dehydrated, or get up after lying down. Sometimes, it's due to low blood sugar. Other reasons could be problems in the inner ear or even stress. To help, sit or lie down, drink water, and eat if your blood sugar is low. If it persists, talk to a healthcare provider so they can figure out the cause.

I have a headache especially temples crushing headache at night

Female | 26

You’re dealing with some pretty intense headaches, especially in or around your temples at night. There are a few reasons why this might be happening. One possibility is that it’s caused by stress, not getting enough sleep, or too much screen time – which can strain your eyes. Drinking plenty of water and trying to relax before bed could help make it hurt less. If this keeps going on though, talking to a doctor would be a good next step.

I'm 27 years old and yesterday I had severe headache and had had a feeling of vomiting which I almost vomitted. Later took disprin and I was better.. Today I was feeling lil dizzy and was feeling hot for little bit of tim

Female | 27

You probably had a severe headache and nausea but now you are better due to Disprin. Today, you have a feeling of dizziness and fever-like symptoms. These could be the signs of a migraine. Migraines can make you experience headaches, vomiting, dizziness, and the like, having light or sound be a trigger. Do not forget to lay down, drink water, and stay away from stress and some foods to keep it from happening.

Head pain problems back said too painful my self

Male | 36

Your head hurts and your back too. This can be a result of nervousness, worry, and you might not even notice your sitting or looking at a screen. Give yourself time to walk around, stretch, and perform relaxation methods. You can also apply a warm compress to the painful areas and exercise walking Somewhat slow, easy walking, and jogging are also good for the body. And if the pain is still there, let a specialist examine it.

His friends brought him to doctors he said due to weakness and lack of sleep this happened.In those days he was showing carelessness in taking medicine I AM asking you that after a long time he got a seizure how much time he has to take medicine to become seizures free in future He is 22 years of age .please answer me hopefully he is my only son now doctor has recommended him epival 500 mg twice a day

Male | Farhan shahid

After a long period without seizures, it is still possible for them to occur, especially if he misses his medication or becomes overly tired. Fasting and lack of sleep during the Eid period may have contributed. His physician recommends he take Epival 500mg twice daily. The new dosage is expected to reduce the frequency of seizures if taken regularly.
