Does Having Dizziness That Lasts For 3-5 Seconds, Twinge In Lower Back Indicates Blocked Artery?
Hi my name is Denise
For about a week I have been getting dizzy for no reason. Sitting Laying down doing nothing my head will swim. it doesnt come on slow It just hits and last about 3 to 5 sec. My concern is that when its going away I can feel my circulation going back into my legs and arms. I can sometimes feel a twinge in my lower back when it hits. I have had Labyrinthitis 2 years ago but this doesnt feel like my inner ear. Its scary because Im wondering if I have a blocked artery or could it be my ear. My pulse doesnt change during this. It happens about 10 to 20 times a day.
Thank you

Hi. Dizziness can cause serious disability or can make you accident prone. There are number of reasons for dizziness. You were a known case of Labyrinthitis so it is better you consult an ENT Specialist or a Neurologist at the earliest.
