Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The dizzy spells when looking down or turning is likely to be due to a middle ear disease. This can happen after an injury to the area also. A direct examination by ENT specialist will help in diagnosis. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
