Dizziness (lightheadedness) means different things to different people usually it is not a sign of something serious but if you are suffering from this condition then you should consult your doctor and get it investigated and treated.

Sometimes it is difficult to identify and isolate the reason for your dizziness and your G.P might have to refer you to a specialist or an emergency room, especially if your dizziness is associated with headaches, chest pains, fainting, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, tinnitus or hearing loss, fever or other signs and symptoms of infection.

I sometimes tell my patients to keep a diary of symptoms how did it all start and how it progressed, and any association to part of the day and if anything makes it worse.

Common causes:
1. Ear infection
2. Stress & Anxiety
3. Migraine
4. Meniere’s disease ( vertigo )
5. Head injury
6. If you are a diabetic or if you suffer from low blood sugar levels
7. low blood pressure
8. If you suffer from hardening of the blood vessel supplying your brain
9. If you are suffering or recovering from a severe illness
10. If you are abusing alcohol or drugs
11. Irregular heart rhythm
12. Some blood pressure medication and anti depressants can cause lightheadedness
13. Malabsorption and Malnutrition
14. Candida / Leaky gut,
15. Chronic fatigue etc...
16. In severe case it can be associated with chest pain, heart attack or meningitis. It is always important to immediately (urgently) seek medical attention and treatment.

Once the reason for your dizziness is identified by your doctor complementary therapies can be very useful. Acupuncture has been used for centuries to treat dizziness. Combination of therapies such as Low dose medicine, lifestyle medicine, nutritional therapy, gut health and microbiome restoration, living a mindful lifestyle can all help.

Micro-immunotherapy can play a very positive role depending on the cause of dizziness especially if your immune system is involved, this treatment can be safely used in adults as well as kids.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology here are a few tips to keep your hair healthy:

• If you have oily hair you should wash it more frequently
  
• Chemically treated or dyed hair should be washed less often
  
• As you grow old your scalp produces less oil, hence you should wash it less frequently
  
• If you suffer from flaky scalp it may be dandruff or some other condition such as psoriasis if you are not sure you should get it checked.
  
• Use shampoo on the scalp area instead of whole length of hair
  
• Use a 2 in 1 conditioner for convenience or use a conditioner after every shampoo
  
• Apply conditioner on the tips of the hair
  
• Choose a shampoo and conditioner formulated for your type of hair
  
• Before you go swimming you should wet and condition your hair or wear a swimming cap.  You can get a special swimmers shampoo and conditioner to replace lost moisture.
  
• Balanced nutrition plays a vital role for healthy scalp and healthy hair. But if you have a problem scalp micro-immunotherapy can be of great benefit.

This article by Dr Bhatti M.B.B.S.D.C.H.R.C.P.S appeared in Galway Advertiser on June 5 2019

Restless leg syndrome, also known as Willis-Ekbom Disease, can cause an unpleasant sensation in the legs with the irresistible urge to move them.

The symptoms can be mild or severe. When severe, it can nearly affect all aspects of a person’s life leading to anxiety and depression, or could worsen an existing condition.
People suffering from RLS find it hard to explain the sensation in their legs. They describe it as being a throbbing/itching/creeping/crawling/pulling sensation. These symptoms usually affect only one side but sometimes both sides can be affected, leading to tossing and turning in bed, constantly moving the legs while sitting or pacing the floor. Symptoms are usually worse at night.
Some causes:
1. People suffering from Parkinson’s have a higher chance of developing RLS pointing towards some involvement of the basal ganglia of the brain
2. Iron deficiency

3. Smoking (nicotine )

4. Coffee and tea (caffeine )
5. Alcohol
6. Certain medications such as some anti-histamines, some anti-depressants and some anti-psychotic medication
7. Pregnancy, often the last trimester
8. Neuropathy or nerve damage
9. Sleep deprivation and sleep apnoea
10. It is also common in people in the end stage of kidney disease especially on haemodialysis
In Dr Bhatti’s clinic he uses a multi-pronged approach in treating this and many other conditions with evidence-based therapies such as Micro-immunotherapy, Physiological Regulating Medicine (P.R.M ), Gut Health and Microbiome restoration, Nutritional and Nutraceutical therapies, Lifestyle Medicine, Natural Hormonal Balancing, Glandular support, Soft tissue and joint support, Complex Homeopathy, Herbals, and Needle-free Medical Acupuncture, Therapeutic Mindfulness and CBT techniques to achieve excellent results.
Micro-immunotherapy medicines contain high dilutions of interleukins, growth factors and specific nucleic acids (SNA ) for the support of the immune system by restoring balance leading to a positive effect on the person’s overall health and defences. It can be successfully used in this or any other inflammatory diseases which are the consequence of imbalance in our immune system. The main object is to restore and correct the functioning of our immune system.
Micro-immunotherapy seeks to regulate the immune response and optimally modulate the inflammation and contributes to correcting the function of the bowel. It can be used alongside conventional medicine as a supportive therapy.
There are international doctors’ associations committed to Micro-immunotherapy training for healthcare professionals. With the help of Serology and other blood tests, the progress of Micro-immunotherapy treatment can be monitored.
Dr Bhatti is the first doctor to practise Micro-immunotherapy in Ireland.

The most common complication of Shingles is pain, also known as Post Herpatic Neuralgia (PHN) and is due to damage to the skin and nerves after the acute stage of this disease.

Shingles is the result of the reactivation of the Chicken Pox virus in the body, affecting nerves, the reasons aren’t fully understood.

The pain of Shingles or PHN can vary in severity from mild to severe. It can be described from sharp stabbing to burning, constant and sometimes unbearable. The area involved can be sensitive and tender to touch. It can affect work, social and home life, sometimes leading to depression.

The affected area can suffer from tingling numbness and itching. In some cases shingles can occur without a rash, called internal shingles and in rare cases it can spread to internal organs causing serious complications. You should always consult your GP if you suspect you may have Shingles.

Studies have shown that Micro-immunotherapy can help lessen the pain and offer relief for PHN.

Micro-immunotherapy innovative medicines contain high dilutions of interleukins, growth factors and specific nucleic acids (SNA) for the support of the immune system by restoring balance leading to a positive effect on the person’s overall health and defences. It can be successfully used in this or any other inflammatory and autoimmune diseases which are the consequence of imbalance in our immune system. The main object is to restore and correct the functioning of our immune system.

Micro-immunotherapy seeks to regulate the immune response and optimally modulate the inflammation and contributes to correcting the function of the immune system. It can be safely used alongside conventional medicine as an excellent supportive therapy.

2. Ulcerative Colitis – characterised by inflammation and sores or ulcers in the innermost lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum.

Both conditions have some common symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramps, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, fatigue, fever, weight loss and blood in stools.
Common conventional treatments:

• Anti-inflammatories
• Immune suppressors
• Antibiotics
• Steroids etc.
