Not 100% Well

I've been under the weather lately. I still have not recovered from my sore eyes. It has been almost 2 weeks now. It was not as swollen or red but it still itches and looks smaller from my healthy eyes.

Then, I have bout of dizziness a few days ago. I felt nauseous if I move too much. I don't feel like my head was spinning or anything like that... just kind of heavy. It's difficult to explain. Hubby insisted I went to clinic to check so I did. I got my blood pressure and sugar level checked. It was normal. The doctor doesn't seem to be able to explain my symptom. She just prescribed Prochlor for my dizziness with a reminder if I don't recover, I'll need to go for blood test.

The pill does stop the dizziness but now I have different problems. I have problem passing motion that caused stomach pain and goosebumps. My ear also ache and I can feel the sharpness of the pain right to my tonsil. I know ear ache can cause dizziness but I didn't have it earlier. Not until I took the pill. Initially I didn't make the connection. Yesterday morning I took the pill, missed it on lunch which makes me feel better in the evening, then I took one after dinner and started having tummy discomfort, ear ache and goosebumps again. Sigh! So that's the culprit. That's what happened when we treat symptoms and not causes.

I'm quite worried now cause come to think of it, I have this bout of dizziness quite frequently already. Once at my workplace a few years back, I have to ask my colleagues to drive my car back. He stopped at a nearby commuter station with another female colleague to continue their journey, before I drove back on my own. It was a shorter journey home that way. That was way before I met hubby and the doctor gave some pill for ear infection. Then I got it several more times and I thought it could be due to my low blood pressure problem.

I went to clinic twice already to check my BP and sugar level when I felt dizzy, and they were normal. So what causes the dizziness? I might not realize it if it happens for a day... I'd thought it was something I ate or I was just tired... but it would normally lasts for few days. Now, I can't quickly assume it is due to my low BP. I don't feel dizzy anymore... just the symptoms after taking the prescribed Prochlor tablet. I have to remember the next time I feel dizzy again, have to perform more tests.
