Hello XXXXXXX

I would like to know few more details.

Since when are you having dizziness? how it starts and how long it lasts?

Do you have any other symptoms along with dizziness?

Do you have any history of medical illness?

Have ever done vitamin D and b12 tests?

Sudden dizziness can be due to sudden changes in body posture like when you gets up from bed or when you stand suddenly.
