Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The feeling of dizziness could be due to multiple causes. This can be due to anaemia, middle ear disease, cardiac causes, thyroid hormone imbalances, etc. Few blood tests are needed to pin point the diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
