Nausea and Dizziness - Is this normal?

A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭
Melissa, TX

My husband constantly complains of nausea and dizziness, but all of the MDs say there is nothing wrong with him. Is this common for these patients? If so, does anyone have any tips?

Members shared various experiences and strategies for managing nausea and dizziness in their loved ones with Alzheimer's, with many attributing symptoms to medication side effects, dehydration, or nutritional deficiencies. Several members found relief by adjusting diets (cutting acidic foods and sugary drinks), adding vitamin B12 supplements or weekly shots, and reducing or changing medications like Triponal and Donepezil, which led to improvements in dizziness, energy levels, and overall orientation. A recurring theme was the importance of trial and error, staying persistent in seeking answers, and considering whether current medications might be causing more harm than good.

We cut out orange juice or any sugar drinks added Vitamin B12 and he has been much better

Taken my husband off triponal and he only has 1 Donnacept in the morning. His ears have stopped ringing and he is no longer dizzy. He also seems to have more energy all of a sudden. Not sure how long this will last though.

My hubby had been diagosed with anemia BEFORE the ALZ, and we are on weekly B12 shots, and Donepizel, It is amazing how disorientated he is with out the B12 shots, he does much better with them.
