Dizzy and light headed with some vertigo only when climbing/ what's that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Head tilt: If dizziness etc comes only when climbing up, the then answer could due to kinking of a vertebral artery damage to a portion of the inner ear, or exaggerated feedback from position sensors in the cervical spine. If climbing ladders is important to you, get it checked out. If dizziness/vertigo occurs in other situations also, definitely have an exam and further testing.
