Old Aged, Having Dizziness, Pain In Left Side Of Head. What Could Be Causing This?

My 77 year old mother has been having dizziness, and pain n the left side of her head for several days. It seems to come and go. It seems to be worse when she turns her head from side to side or up and down. It also is worse when she moves her eyes from side to side or up and down. Could you please tell me what are some possibilities of what could be causing this?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really precipitate, your concern for your mother, this could be a geriatric problem and this is highly related with the tympanic membrane ( Ear Drum) the low blood supply to the ear drum can cause such problem but no need to worry about this it will come around with the proper treatment, "Cinarizine " is drug of choice in this and gives very good result I would advise to try this for your mother if it fails to response then your mother would need medical examination have nice day. ( The dose of Cinarizine 25 mg is one tab, three times in day)
I find this answer helpful
