HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it may not be normal one if it is just due to steroid so the steroid need to be tapered in right manner like it need to be reduced by 5 mg every after third day then later on it can be kept on maintenance dose, else the dizziness is not due to steroid or disease it self, hope this information helps.
