Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I have gone through your question understand your concern regarding dizziness you are getting.

Dizziness in your case may be because of diabetes mellitus/orthostatic hypotension.
If the dizziness increases with movements of head,it can be due to inner ear problems.In that case,you may need to get your inner ears eamined by ENT specialist.
Also would like to know are you on any long term medications as certain medications may predispose to dizziness.

I advise you to get your fasting blood glucose level and blood pressure,sitting and standing, checked.
You need to maintain adequate body hydration by intake of plenty of fluids.
Avoid sudden standing from sitting position or change in posture.
Mintain adequate nutrition.


Further management depends upon the cause.

Hope this information helps.Will be glad to solve any further query.

Regards
Dr.Shraddha Bhondve
