HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different possible causes . The most common are related to the inner ear: (1) BPPV - benign paroxysmal positional vertigo- this lasts a few seconds to minutes, varies with the position of the head

(2) Meniere's disease- associated with tinnitus and hearing loss, lasts for a few minutes
(3)vestibular neuronitis- lasts for hours at a time

If there is no tinnitus or hearing loss then it is not likely meniere's disease and the other 2 would need to be considered.

You need to consider visiting an ENT doctor or neurologist for assessment.

I hope this helps

HI

Thanks for posting your query.

There are many causes for Dizziness, from simple and easily treatable causes to serious causes .

Simple causes are :

1. Abnormalities in BP: Both high and low BP can cause dizziness.
2. Abnormalities in Blood sugars: Both high and low Blood sugars can cause dizziness.

3. Abnormalities in blood sodium levels.
4. Low Hemoglobin ( Anemia )
5. Inner Ear problems .

Some serious problems are :

1. Heart Problems
2: Brain problem

My advise to you is to get your Blood pressure , Eyes and Ear examination done and if they are normal kindly get the following tests and revert back to me .

Hemogobin , Fasting and Postprandial Blood Sugars , Serum Sodium levels, Serum TSH , Serum Vitamin B12 levels checked and an ECG.

Hope you find this information useful .

Any clarification feel free to ask
