Dr. Carlo Contreras answered

Specializes in Surgical Oncology

Multiple reasons: If you have anemia (low blood counts) you can get dizzy. If you have blockages of your neck arteries, you can also get dizzy while talking especially if you wear a tight neck collar & tie. Finally, if you have anxiety, this can also contribute to the sensation of dizziness.
