Inner ear disorder: Many causes of dizziness are related to an imbalance of the inner ears. This is frequently caused by a virus, may be a salt imbalance or related to other problems of the nerve of the inner ear. An otologist or ear specialist can determine if the dizziness is caused by ear problems, imbalance with your eyes, or a neurologic condition. If the symptoms are few and far between, then no further w/u.
