|
|
I've been under doctor's care because of endocarditis, a potentially deadly infection of the heart.
The usual medication is a combination of penicillin and gentamicin. The gentamicin has potential side effects that include damage to the kidneys, damage to both the inner and outer ear.
I am experiencing some kind of dizziness and my balance is out of kilter.
My question are:
Are these temporary conditions?
How long do they last? |

| Your symptoms could have everything to do with the endocarditis - you need to tell your doctor about them right away. |
