He had a thyroid problem many years ago (Hashimoto's), but the Dr. said his thyroid was normal. Does anyone have any ideas as to a cause of these problems?
EC is such a great site and I am grateful to all, especially Ted, who have shared so much knowledge. Many thanks.

Laine, have you tried magnesium?Replied by Carly (Seattle, Wa - USA) on 08/23/2012
Hi Laine, I would make sure your husband is checked out by a good ENT (ears, nose, throat) doctor. A lot of times equillibrium and dizziness is an inner ear thing. Good luck!Replied by Bess (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) on 08/23/2012
Hi Laine - I'm sure others will respond, but is it possible your husband is severely dehyrdated? Cycling 10-12 miles a day in summer is quite a feat!
There's an interesting Web site called the Water Cure. You divide your weight in two and that's the number of ounces of water you drink per day. You also add 1/4 teaspoon natural sea salt to each liter you drink. Evidently the salt assists the water getting into the cells (otherwise you excrete most of it right away).
Another thing that might help is getting enough healthy fats in his diet (coconut oil, omega 3s, etc.).
Hope you find the right answer - best of health to you both. Cheers, Bess

Did your physician check him out for veritgo? Has he had any nausea? Do the symptoms abate when he lies still? Can be caused by dehydration and also a virus. Hope he feels better very soon.
