Hi I've been struggling with similar issues for the past 2 months.  However, I just went througha very traumatic event, which I beleive to be the trigger for why i'm so dizzy.

If you haven't already, you need to see your primary care physician, or seek one out.  They will be able to take your blood and run it though testing to see a quick peak in the box at your levels etc--good starting point.  Then they can start narrowing it down from there.

Also, if you've been under any constant stress, anxiety, or dperession, this can play a huge affect in your body's equilibrium relative to blood flow, oxygen levels, etc.

so get checked, and try to relax....
