Patient's question:
I am 29 years old this year. My job is to work as a laborer in a machinery factory. I usually don't get sick, but the machines make constant noise, which has affected my hearing. I often experience dizziness. Could dizziness lead to epilepsy? What department should I go to at the hospital for a thorough check-up?Doctor's answer:
Headache does not necessarily cause epilepsy. A small portion of patients with headache leading to epilepsy have relevant medical factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, high blood lipids, arteriosclerosis, etc. According to what you mentioned, considering it might be neurologic tinnitus, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in the otolaryngology department. Treatment can include taking Vincaamine sustained-release capsules, local posterior ear injection with lidocaine, or hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
