What Causes Short Dizzy Spells And A Pounding Sensation In The Head?
I keep having short dizzy spells, followed by a pounding sensation in my head. I almost feel like I will black out, but never have. I have a mitral valve prolapse, but not serious. I get an echo cardiogram every 2 years. Just wanted to make sure this isn t serious. I t happens when I am driving and I don t know if I am being foolish

Thank you for asking!
Valvular Heart disease with dizzy spells and likelihood of passing out make it worth workup to sort out any perfusion issues as dizziness can be due to a simple flu to a lethal perfusion issues in heart. It should be evaluated.Once cleared then nothing to worry about. A simple symptomatic treatment would suffice.
Take care
