What Causes Dizziness Along With Tinnitus?

I was wondering if u could tell my why I get dizzy for no reason. I don t have to move, I can be standing still, watching tv, laying in bed but I get dizzy. It only last for a few seconds and then it s gone. I also have a slight ringing in my ears at times. I am 41 years old. I smoke and my father has had heart problems Just an FYI about me.
