Dear Sir,

The cause of dizziness and pulsating feeling in likely to be due the following reasons
1. Anemia: Reduced hemoglobin level can cause such symptoms
2. Hypertension: Increased blood pressure may sometimes give rise to either throbbing headache or pulsation in tongue
3. Hyperthyroidism

I would suggest you to get a thorough clinical examination from your physician and further investigations can be planned.

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Take Care
