Diagnosis: Dizziness is a non-specific term. The causes vary from low blood pressure, hypothyroidism, low blood sugar and hyperventilation. If you have vertigo, true spinning, then the diagnosis may be an inner ear problem which can be diagnosed and treated. Telling a doctor that your are dizzy is not going to help. You have to specifically describe your symptoms for a proper diagnosis.
