What Would Cause Frequent Occurrence Of Dizziness & Light Headedness?

my son is 8 years old, has complained about dizziness or light-headedness for the past week. We took him to the ER, checked him out neurologically, ekg, blood, and all seems fine. The dizziness comes and goes, throughout the day, not severe, but like he has just got off a spinning ride. We were on a cruise up through the 28th of April, and he was fine then and when we got off the ship. About a week later, these symptoms started. What could it be?

HI...By what you quote i feel that the motion sickness or sea sickness due to the movement of the ship, is continuing in him. With all other possibilities being ruled out, I feel he is having a vertigo and I suggest you take him to an ENT surgeon and rule out other vestibular disorders.
