HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that your symptoms may be due to Meniere's disease.
This is a condition of the inner ear that is associated with tinnitus (abnormal sounds in the ear), dizziness.
There are other common causes as well.
It would be best to see your doctor for an assessment to confirm this.
Treatment mainly involves low salt diet and diuretics if needed.
I hope this helps
