Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have problem of dizziness while driving and while working on computer . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, inflammation within the inner ear sometimes due to infection, head injury , certain medications and due to cervical spondylosis, meniere's disease , acoustic neuroma , sinusitis and multiple sclerosis migraines . So i would suggest you to consult ENT specialist . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan , MRI , blood test , audiometery test, examination with otoscope and ECG to confirm the diagnosis. There can be other reasons alo for your symptoms like low blood sugar or iron level . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( gentamicin ) , antiemetic drugs along with anti allergic . For now avoid bending forward and avoid deriving , drink green teat thrice a day .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
