Hello Doctor,
I recently felt dizzy after walking on a treadmill, which was quite unsettling. A few days earlier, I experienced a similar dizziness episode after climbing a three-story building. I had an echocardiogram done, and the results were completely normal. Could you please help me understand what might be causing this dizziness?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.
1. Since your cardiac ultrasound is normal, it’s unlikely that your dizziness is related to heart problems. However, dizziness can have many causes, so it’s important to explore other possibilities. One common cause is an imbalance in thyroid hormone levels, which can affect your energy, metabolism, and circulation.
2. I recommend getting your thyroid function tested with a simple blood test. This will help rule out any thyroid-related issues that might be causing your symptoms. Meanwhile, stay hydrated and avoid sudden changes in position, and if the dizziness worsens or you develop new symptoms, be sure to see a healthcare provider promptly.
Thanks
