Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Giddiness is vague term - unsteadiness. If there is definite sense of rotation, it is vertigo.
If it is from getting up from bed, it may be from postural hypo-tension. / It can be from anaemia – what is your haemoglobin? / Has an ECG been done?
The body's balancing mechanism is in the inner ear. An ENT (Ear Nose Throat) specialist is the one to see - especially in the presence of tinnitus. They have special tests to confirm or exclude the contribution of the ear - which probably is the case with you.
If there are no clues, you have to be followed up by a neurologist.
In the mean time, medicines like betahistine or flunarazine alone or in combination may help
Ask your doctor...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
