A member asked:
I have dizziness/lightheadedness for months with the past couple of weeks being the worst. all evals have been normal. could it b something serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds serious: Increasing dizziness an light headedness are not very specific symptoms. However they could point to a neurological disorder in the posterior fossa of the brain. You might need to see a neurologist or ENT specialist. Have you done this yet? You might need an MRI with and without contrast.
