What Causes Dizziness Along With Stiffness In Lower Part Of Body?
I have had a terrible, kinda dizzy feeling in my head for several years. Had sinus surgery thinking that might help but no help. Seems to be on left front corner of my head, mostly. Am being seen by the VA. have MRI scheduled in a few days. Recently began feeling stiffness and aching in my lower body, legs knees, hips etc. But the feeling in my head is getting worse, hard to explain otherwise. Blood prsure a little high but heart is excellent otherwise. How would you diagnose or go about finding out wha s the matter? Am 89 years old.

Hi,
Your symptoms may be due to cervical spondylitis. You are advised to keep your blood pressure under control. Also, rule out diabetes as well as hypercholesterolemia. The opinion of a neurologist or rheumatologist is advisable in your case.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
