Dizzy lightheaded: Would consider evaluation for sinusitis, reflux, asthma(could be the result of reflux), sleep apnea, migraines, rarely mitral valve prolapse, sarcoid /autoimmune(but something should have shown up on studies), much less likely disc disease and cervical disc disease would be noted on c spine MRI.. Is your thyroid function within normal limits? Discuss with doctor/urgent care.
