Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

It may be from postural hypo-tension.. check your BP standing and lying?
It can be from anaemia – check haemoglobin?
Has an ECG been done?

The body's balancing mechanism is in the inner ear. An ENT (Ear Nose Throat) specialist is the one to see - especially in the presence of tinnitus. They have special tests to confirm or exclude the contribution of the ear - which probably is the case with you.

If there are no clues, you have to be followed up by a neurologist. MRI may be needed. MRA (MRI angiography) shows blood vessels and is generally done at the same sitting.

If still elusive, see a cardiologist – ECHO, Stress EKG and Holter may be done

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
