@amyashling I get that too, but in my case I chalk it up to inner ear fluid imbalance or a new medication/supplement I have started. That has been my experience but a referral to an ENT to rule out anything serious would help, I’m sure.

My latest bouts of dizziness were caused by Prednisolone eye drops which was prescribed after a minor in office laser eye procedure, and more recently when I used a topical called Icey Heat roll on for my knee arthritis. Dizzyness stopped when I stopped using the Prednisolone and Icey Heat. Seems my body is very sensitive to most medications/supplements.

@rashida Good luck in finding an ENT who is willing to take a deep dive into your problem. Please let us know how you make out. The mantra here in my Delaware medical community is "medicate, medicate, medicate"! No "let's try something else" or "I'm going to refer you to (fill in the blank). My ENT just says, in response to my sinus issues, "Spray more Flonase into your nose". Instead, I bought one of those Navage-like sinus machines. It does a great job in clearing out my sinuses. Add to that a couple of sprays of Flonase in each nostril. I'm set for clear breathing all night long.
