CB scheduled for 1 hour. 1 hour later, she still had a bit of a headache which isn't so bad anymore. She still is dizzy but this is normal for her. She takes lupus medication that makes her dizzy. Has no recs from MD what to do for dizziness. The caller was advised that given the information and her current medical history it is unlikely that the exposure to the ant killer dust is what is causing the symptoms. She was advised to take whatever it was she was taking before for the headaches.
