Hello,

Dizziness may be caused by many causes like
1. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
2. Vestibular neuronitis
3. Labyrinthitis
4. Cardiac problem
5. Neurological problems
6. Anemia etcetera.
Until examination, it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet Vertin thrice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
