Hello
Dizziness from many years and still not consulted a doctor ,very sorry.
This type of dizziness may be due to many reasons , these includes.
1 Hyper tension , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a physician .
2 Anemia another most common cause , get in blood examination for hemoglobin level.
3 Brain tumor is the another most common cause of dizziness particularly if progressing . M R I will find out the exact location in brain , if tumor present .
However there are so many other reason of dizziness like ANXIETY , TENSION , LOW BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL .
In my opinion you should consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination as well as clinical examination is important in this type of cases. You must advise your friend to consult a physician .
Good luck.
