I am a 64 year old female and am having dizzy spells. I have very low blood pressure (always have) about 95/55. Last night I had a touch of vertigo. All day I have been feeling light headed. I am 5 4 and 125 lbs. I go to the gym. This has been going on for a few weeks. Any ideas other than inner ear problems? Thank you, Mary

Your symptoms could be related to low blood pressure. An inner ear disorder can not be excluded either. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with an ENT specialist to investigate for an inner ear disorder. It is also necessary performing a cervical spine X ray study for chronic degeneration of the cervical vertebral column and a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid and vertebral arteries for possible narrowing. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
