Dizziness: Depends on if you have lightheadedness versus true vertigo. Additional tests of vertigo could inlcude what is called a vng, or eng study, that looks at how the eyes and the ears interact. Radiographic scans are also sometimes used. If symptoms more lightheaded, have to look at blood pressure, and tests could include tilt table test.

More info needed: Dizziness can come from the inner ears (benign positional vertigo, labyrinthitis) but can also come from low blood pressure, heart arrhythmias, certain masses, or even migraines. If it isn't clear after seeing an ent, you can see a neurologist as a next step. Good luck.
