Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

What you are experiencing may be related to:
- Neurological issues
- Inner ear problems
- Cervical Spondiloarthrosis
- Anemia

This is why I would suggest to do the following examinations to find out what is causing your symptoms:
- blood work
- Cervical x ray
- audiogram and ENT specialist consultation

Meantime, I strongly recommend to drink plenty of waters and to avoid to stand up to fast from a sitting position.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
Dr. Shehu
