Hi all!
i recently seen a GP about episodes of dizziness and imbalance that I've been experiencing over the past week that led to a migraine where I loss my peripheral vision temporarily (not usually the case with the migraines I sometimes experience where I get kaleidoscope vision). I'm 5 months postpartum to note. The GP said she couldn't really explain it and that she thinks the dizziness is all related to the migraine I had and prescribed me some sumatriptan for whenever I get an attack, if I get an attack.
however, days later I'm still getting dizziness and imbalance but no headaches etc. I've been doing a bit of researching (of course dr google cannot diagnose me) but I believe what I'm experiencing may be vestibular migraine. as I believe from what I've read is that you can have this but not get the headache part but you experience on and off dizziness, imbalance, nausea, fatigue and that's all what I'm experiencing.
the thing is how do I now re contact my gp and express that this is what I think it is without it seeming like I'm undermining and doing their job! ultimately if this is the case I don't want to suffer it out for weeks and then go back and complain of it again for them to refer me.
