Patient: Dear sir, I have started getting severe dizzy spells since yesterday morning, I am 37 age with no history of Bp or sugar, in fact currently my Bp 121/79 sugar is 127 random, I went to doctor and he has given me histamine hydrochloride 16 mg 3 times a day, In fact i was on a very strict diet since over 2 months where i was just eating oats , cucumber, carrots, orange fruit, apples, raw almonds, grilled chiken, boiled chicken, and pearl millet bread , i have lost 2 waistline since 2 months and over 4 kg weight.Please advice what should i do with my diet now continue or change why this dizzy thing causing to me? Doctor: Hello,I will suggest you to do a weight loss of not more than 0.5kg per week (so your weight loss is okay). Betahistidine hydro chloride can cause hypo-tension, so reduce dose to 16 mg twice a day. As you are already on a diet, your problem will be resolved for orthostatic hypo tension. Keep on taking beta histidine for 5 to 7 days and symptoms should improve. If not, you again need to visit your doctor to start working for these dizzy spells. These dizzy spells are usually some inflammation of inner ear which is relived by taking this batehistidine.Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
