Additional problem?: Although potential cause for dizziness could be cardiac dysrhythmia, a co-morbidity affecting blood flow to cerebrovascular system could also be considered, and risk of stroke should be ruled out. Alternatively, inner ear problems may be the culprit. Your doctors can sort this out.
