Symtons were not typical, went shopping walked to store, eyes went Bezerck going super fast from left to right, I got scared,held on to the car, closed my eyes real tide took of my glasses and it stopped, but I believed it started slowly a week before, I lay down on couch or bed turn to left on pillow,im a side sleeper and would get slitly dizzy that went on for a while. now this light dizziness is starting again, im scared. im a type 2 diabetic and also started an uti again, have some antibiotics left over from last episode in april, im taking, its easing off. im scared to go to hospital, I just got insurance with florida blue found out with these MRI s that I have a $6.000 deductible.

Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.

My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah &
I have gone through your query.

Dizzy spells could be an early warning sign of a stroke but very rarely lead to stroke. This should be emphasised, rather than merely noted. It is silly to be frighten over a rare possibility when far more common causes are existing.

you should continue with your medicines and get proper follow ups for the blockage of artery which can be treated.

So there is no need to get scared of dizziness which very rearely causes stroke..








Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
