Hi,

I cannot deduce your age, thus following is my opinion based on your symptoms:
- Since the symptoms are persisting, get a GP consultation and later ENT examination
- Also take an opinion of a cardiologist [for cardiovascular status], a hematologist [for blood picture], and a neurologist [for any neurological sign] for an underlying cause of dizziness

Cervical spondylitis is the commonest cause of giddiness (ask for X-ray cervical spine, ENT and ophthalmic checkup. (Additionally, go for thyroid profile), till then general advice will be:
** Avoid movements of the head, bed rest
** Avoid caffeine.
** Check whether any drug that the patient is taking (if any) is causing giddiness.
** Use a cervical collar
** Injection Neurobion IM [alternate days]
** Capsule B complex twice daily for 15 days

Check with Vitamin B12 level since a deficiency does cause neurological problems, also RES [red ear syndrome] can be brought on by normal daily activities, such as stress, neck movements, exertion, and it's sometimes accompanied by a migraine.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood, Ayurveda Specialist
