HI

Thanks for posting your query.

There are many causes for Dizziness, from simple and easily treatable causes to serious causes .

Simple causes are :

1. Abnormalities in BP: Both high and low BP can cause dizziness.
2. Abnormalities in Blood sugars: Both high and low Blood sugars can cause dizziness.

3. Abnormalities in blood sodium levels.
4. Low Hemoglobin ( Anemia )
5. Inner Ear problems .

Some serious problems are :

1. Heart Problems
2: Brain problem

In your case , Heart problems is one possible cause of Dizziness . So kindly get your BP checked and get a treadmill test done which shall reveal any abnormalities in the heart. If it comes normal then get the following things done.

Get your Hemogobin , Serum Sodium levels, ENT and 2D Echo checked and if they are normal get an MRI Brain done .

Revert back to me any time you want .

Hope you find this information useful .
