What Is The Treatment Of Dizziness In Old Age ?
I often get dizzy spells but am 68 on blood pressure meds. Was diagnosed with Tia's 5 yrs ago and quit smoking. Last check up all tests were good. Today along with dizzy spell the left side of my tongue started tingling like when your hand or foot go to sleep.

Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you!
Your symptoms could be suggestive of vertebro-basilar insufficiency or TIA. I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some tests: - a resting ECG- a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid and vertebral arteries
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards!
