Unexplained Dizziness

[red_arrows]

Hi, I am a 19 year old female and i have been dizzy since January this year. I had a blood test which indicated i have a high ESR and i have just had a hospital appoinment with a neuologist and he can't find out what is causing my dizziness. I have an MRI and nothing showed up either.
I was wondering if there was anything else the doctors could of missed becuase my dizziness hasn't gone away?

Thanks

Charlotte

- Dizziness may be accompanied by various disorders such as: allergies, hypoglycemia, common cold, fever, diarrhea, vomiting or flu.
- Loss of balance or spinning sensation may be related to a malfunction in at least two of three main organs that contribute to our sense of balance: inner ears, eyes or the nervous system.
