Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms could be related to different possible causes: an inner ear disorder, panic attacks, vertebro-basilary insufficiency, etc..
I would like to know your age and your past medical history.
If these problems persist, I would recommend consulting with an ENT specialist to exclude an inner ear disorder. Other tests to consider would be: a cervical spine X ray study for chronic degeneration of the cervical column, complete blood count for anemia, thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction, fasting glucose.
A brain MRI study may be needed.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
