What Could Cause Dizziness?
The other day I was dizzy and my eyes kinda kept slowly moving to the right, and I had to shake my head and go back to what I was typing. It was kinda like an inner ear infection, with the same kinda symptoms (but not quite). Does this make sense to you?

Hi,
Your symptoms are consistent with what could be either an ear or sinus process. If there is pain, fever, or reduced sense of hearing or ringing in the ears then, your best bet is to a doctor for a diagnosis since there may be a definitive intervention available depending on what the exam shows.
However, if not and you're not feeling nauseous or otherwise able to maintain your gaze on an object readily (no matter what you FEEL that it is going on) then, you can probably implement conservative measures of good hydration, rest, and meditative sorts of activities for the time being.
This may be due to stress, fatigue, or anxiety. If you are having trouble focusing your gaze on an object or have any of the other symptoms mentioned you should see a doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi,
