What Causes Sudden Dizzy Spell?

Today arriving at a church function and walking to the meeting hall all of a sudden I experienced a severe dizzy spell. Had to seat down to regain my composure. This was the most severe to date. It lasted about 15 minutes. I ve had dizzy spell about once a month but they disappear quickly.

1. Simce you are experiencing it time and again thus check with Hb%, X-ray cervical spine, ENT and Ophthalmic check up.

2. If diziness is associated with any neurological sign, check with Neurologist.

3. Check with Blood pressure and check whether any drug is causing the same.

4. Adequate bed rest, avoid movements of head,if some.drug is suspected then adjust the dose or use a different drug after consulting with your doctor.
