What Causes Dizziness While Turning The Head?

For the last week I ve been getting a strange dizzy feeling on and off throughout the day. When I turn my head or move my eyes I feel like my body shudders and my head spins for a second. It sends pins and needles down my arms to my hands and just makes me feel very tired and a bit dizzy. It s very annoying and is stopping me from doing everyday things. Please help!

Hi

Dizziness could be caused by many medical conditions.Some possible causes may include:
-Inner ear problems like Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo,, Infection, Meniere's disease
-Circulation problems like Drop in blood pressure, Poor blood circulation
-Neurological conditions
-Medications like anti-seizure drugs, antidepressants, sedatives, tranquilizers and blood pressure lowering medications
-Anxiety disorders
-anemia
-hypoglycemia
-Overheating and dehydration
I will suggest you see the Doctor for examination and tests given the many possible causes.Tests that may help include: BP control, fasting blood sugar, serum electrolytes, full blood count, ESR, malaria test, typhoid test and others depending on the diagnostic orientation of the Doctor.
In the meantime, i will advise rest, good diet and regular fitness exercises
Hope this will help
