Does Labyrinthitis Cause Fainting Spells

Hello! I got tested and the doctor told me I have labyrinthitis. He told me it should be gone in three months ( after having it for a year an a half) and I still have it after five months. It's not terrible--things don't spin or bounce like they use to, but everyday I have this feeling that I am going to faint., nearly constantly. Sometimes it improves if I am lying down. My blood pressure is low but not too low. I was wondering if it is sometimes normal to feel faint with labyrinthitis...I know that when I had it bad, I would feel faint right before and during the spinning/moving objects started. Just wanted to see if I should be worried about a brain tumor or something more serious. Sorry for the long explanation and thanks in advance!

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that if this is Labyrinthitis then it is not actually cause the faint like spell but this is the vertigo in severe case of vertigo some time such symptom is likely, but I would like to say that Labyrinthitis symptom may not long last that much and this comes under the control in my opinion differential diagnosis need to be seen take care and have a nice day.
