Hi.

Dizziness is a non-specific symptom and can be caused by many conditions.

Do you suffer from any hearing impairment? It might be unlikely for the dizziness to be associated with retinitis pigmentosa unless there is some hearing loss which could suggest the presence of Usher syndrome.

Common causes of dizziness include vestibular system disorders, including Meniere's disease, and  cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension and hypotension. Other causes include intake of certain drugs, low blood sugar levels, and migraines.

You should probably have your condition evaluated by a physician to determine exactly what may be causing your condition.

Good luck.
