Do Dizzy Spells require Medical Advice? Posted: 07-28-06 12:32pm
when i was a teenager, i used to get dizzy
spells in which my body would sway back
and forth and i would start to go
backwards at a fast rate, and i had no
control whastsoever over it. it caused me
to bang into things, after which time i
fell. it hasn't happened in 3 or 4 years (
now i can stop myself from banging into
things when i get dizzy spells), but my
stepmom said that that is not normal and
that i should ask a doctor about it. do
you agree, or do you think i should just
not worry about it because it's been so
long?
Yes, this condition requires medical
advice. You can visit a neurologist and
an ENT-specialist. It seems that you are
experiencing obvious problems keeping
balance.
