Dizzy Spells, Ringing In Ears, Lightheadedness. Caues? Taking Thyroid Medication And Birth Control Pills
Sometimes, infrequently, I have a dizzy spell when I am in the shower. I haven t felt this any other time. It comes over me and I feel like my ears are ringing and light-headed and I just have to close my eyes and wait for it to pass, which it usually does in a few minutes. What is this? I do have high blood pressure ,take birth control pills & thyroid meds.
