Hello. Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic. From your symptoms that you described it seems like you are suffering from migraine. The dizziness, spots, foggy mind is the aura associated with migraine. There are certain precipitation factors for migraine like sleeplessness, bright lights, fatigue etc. Kindly identify any precipitating factor if you can and start to try to avoid it. Resting in a dark comfortable room generally relieves the symptoms. In severe cases you need to take prescription drugs and for that you need to consult a neurologist. Thanks.
