Dizziness can be a worrying and even scary symptom, especially if you do not know the cause. If you experience dizziness, your ear, 
nose, and throat doctor can help you get to the root of the problem and determine what, if any, the underlying conditions are causing your dizziness. Learn more about diagnosing dizziness and what it means to you with Dr. William R. Bond Jr. in Washington, DC.
What causes my dizziness?
Many factors can cause dizziness though some are more common than others. Vertigo, dizziness and motion sickness are all commonly related back to a patient’s balance. When the balance is thrown off, the body experiences dizziness. This can relate back to inner ear disorders, circulation, anxiety, migraine headaches, infection or injury, anxiety, or even allergies.
Diagnosing Dizziness
If you experience dizziness in conjunction with a high fever, a head injury, continued vomiting, chest pain, or fainting, you should seek immediate emergency medical attention. If you think your dizziness comes as a side effect from medication, notice hearing loss, or have never had a dizzy spell before, you should contact your doctor.
Diagnosing your dizziness will include a physical examination and a myriad of questions about your health, lifestyle and family and medical history. Your doctor may also use CT scans or MRIs to further aid in the diagnostic process. After pinpointing the underlying condition, treatment can begin to help quell your symptoms.
