Dizziness — Which Doctor Should I See?

Dizziness can result from inner ear problems, blood pressure changes, dehydration, medication side effects, anxiety, or neurological conditions. Common causes include vertigo, vestibular disorders, and sudden position changes.

Seek medical attention if dizziness is severe, persistent, accompanied by chest pain, vision changes, weakness, or difficulty speaking. Also consult a doctor if it interferes with daily activities or follows a head injury.

Sit or lie down immediately when dizzy. Move slowly and avoid sudden position changes. Stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and alcohol, get adequate rest, and practice balance exercises. Medication adjustments may help if side effects cause dizziness.
