Suggest Treatment For Persistent Dizziness
I had spine reconstruction due to scoliosis 14 months ago. I get dizzy 4-5 times a day. Always when I m standing or walking. At times I actually go sideways when walking. I ve had my ears checked ekg cardiogram caroid Doppler all come out fine. My blood pressure is great. What could be causing this. The dizziness feels like I m going to pass out and a few seconds later I m fine. It is not a spinning type.

mostly the sensation might be neural in origin.
compression leading to dizziness occasionally nauseating. moreover sometimes it is common due to habitual and gradually move away.
however we need to worry for a prolonged symptoms.
hope this helps
