What Causes Sudden Onset Of Dizziness?

My daughter has had a sudden case of being dizzy. It s worse if she moves her head suddenly, her ears feel stopped up, and if she closes her eyes the room spins. Her blood pressure (our home monitor) reads 109/58 and her pulse is 66. She is 28 years old, a non smoker, 5 7 tall and weighs about 150. Her job is a desk job at work. No meds are currently taken and she is in excellent health.
