Hi,

There can be many causes of giddiness. We need to analyze the complaints in little more detail to establish the cause. The best thing which you can do is relax, try to be careful about your posture especially when you are working on a computer - try to have a proper erect posture. Even while sleeping try to sleep straight with a small pillow. Do some mild neck stretching exercises, have a good night's sleep - at least 7-8 hours.

Try to rejuvenate your interests - go for walk, listen to music and read some good books. However if nothing works out, then you need to do some investigations- complete blood count, sugar levels, ECG, electrolytes, X-ray neck, and MRI brain. If giddiness is persisting then do get a complete ENT examination also done.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Milinda Gupta, Internal Medicine Specialist
