Can a evelvated blood serotonin level cause dizzyness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Let me explain: Serotonin syndrome results when very high levels of serotonin build up in your body. Initial symptoms include shivering, diarrhea, headache, agitation, confusion, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, dilated pupils, loss of coordination, muscle twitching, goose bumps and perspiring heavily.
