A member asked:

Can dizziness mean my heart is in trouble?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dizzy: Dizziness may be caused by inner ear problems, brain problems and blood pressure cerebral perfusion problems. Dizziness does not necessarily imply a heart problem. The more common cause is likely the inner ear.
