I have been experiencing a sinking sensation from around 10 am onwards for the past few months. I was taking Vertin 8 mg at 8 am, but over the last two days, I have reduced the dose to 4 mg, and the sinking sensation has almost disappeared. Are there any other treatment options I should consider?
A sinking sensation may be related to inner ear balance issues, and it is good that your symptoms have improved with a lower dose of Vertin (betahistine). However, any change in dosage should be discussed with your doctor before continuing. Other treatment options may include antihistamines such as dimenhydrinate or meclizine, vestibular rehabilitation exercises, and simple measures such as staying well hydrated, managing stress, and limiting caffeine intake. Your doctor may also check for triggers (such as dehydration or anxiety), evaluate for underlying conditions (such as vertigo or low blood pressure), and guide you towards the most suitable treatment plan.
