Answer:

Hello Mikhail,

We are sorry to hear about your miscarriage last june. Concerning your present condition, all your symptoms may be due to low-blood pressure. What is your average blood pressure? if it is below 90-100/60-70, that is too low and may be the cause of your dizziness and headaches. You also have to check your CBC because a low hemoglobin/hematocrit count can also result in the symptoms you are feeling. Other causes may be an infection of the middle ear, problems with eyesight. You should have a general checkup because the symptoms you are feeling can be due to a lot of possible illnesses.

Thank you for your question,
