Diagnosed with iih. back by spine feels puffy, dizzy spells even if not moving, feel like i'm going to pass out, but it comes and goes. advice?

See a doctor: Your symptoms are in two different areas. Back puffiness is not specific. However, the dizziness and lightheadedness are a concern. At your age, dizziness is often a virus with inner ear involvement. Certainly if you are not better within a day, you should see a doctor.
