Brief Answer:
Need further consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Anaemia, postural hypotension are some common causes / likely excluded already by your cardiologist
The body's balancing mechanism is in the inner ear. An ENT (Ear Nose Throat) specialist is the one to see - they have special tests to confirm or exclude the contribution of the ear.
If the ear is excluded, you have to be followed up by a neurologist. / MRI may be needed. MRA (MRI angiography) shows blood vessels and is generally done at the same sitting.
If there are no clues, see Cardiologist again! - HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring – for arrhythmia) / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG – for ischemia) / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary for further assessment and assistance.
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
Good luck
