How To Treat Dizziness Which Causes Burning And Itchy Eye Lids?
I am 77 years old, I have had dizzy spells (minor) since 1973, now when I get them it effects my eyes, not my vision, but burning, itching & eye lids feel heavy. My sugar level is ok. I have had the dizziness for about two years and it is getting worse. thanks

Thank you for asking!
Dizziness with associated eye troubles and itching makes it more likely a peripheral cause of vertigo mostly involving inner ear. get vestibular functions assessment and get ekg and heart perfusion prophylactically as that is a leading cause at your age.
eye trouble may be separate entity so seek an ophthalmologist for that care.
take care
