I have been having headaches and dizziness and a swimmy feeling in my head what can be the problem?

Dr. Chris Oh answered

Many things: Most likely something benign such as viral labyrinthitis but could be something more serious such as intracranial mass. If symptoms do not resolve you should see a doc for at least head ct.
