Having Dizziness, Balance Problem. Diagnosed As Cervical Degenerative Disk Problem In Neck. Underlying Cause?

I'm concern about my dizzinezz. I can be sitting down and a wave of dizziness will happen. Several times, I've lost my balance and had to grab hold of chair or whatever I'm close to so I don't fall. It's also happen while I'm driving. Just found out on the 7th Nov that I have cervical degenative disc in neck. Could I have a lack of oxygen flow to my brain? Really concern because it's getting worse.

Hi
You need to consult ent surgeon and neurologist.
Ent surgeon for vestibulo choclear apparatus if any pathology found patient may suffer from vertigo and dizziness.
Neurologist to get mri brain done to see the status of cerebellum. Because balancing of body is done by cerebelleum. Disturbance in blood supply and atrophic changes to cerebellum causes dizziness and balancing problem.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
