Merits evaluation.: In a young person, the more common causes of dizziness are an inner ear cause if the dizziness is described as a spinning sensation (vertigo) or dehydration with a low blood pressure if described as lightheadedness. For an answer, one should see ones doctor for a careful history and physical exam.
