The symptoms described, including blurred vision, severe headache, slurred speech, and mild unconsciousness, indicate a potential medical emergency, such as a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), due to a blockage in the blood vessels supplying the brain; immediate medical attention is crucial, and surgery may be necessary, but a thorough evaluation by a neurologist or neurosurgeon is required to determine the best course of treatment.

I've been dealing with head spinning for years now, and it's really starting to worry me. I had an MRI scan about three years ago and have been on medications like Icosar Lipikind Plus and Vertizoc since then, but I still get these dizzy spells pretty often. Do you have any idea why this might be happening or what else I could do?
