Rockford	My grandpa had very bad dizzness. It was due to his heart and sometimes his ears. They gave him antibiotic/antifungal/antiviral ear Drops. They work.. I tried them myself. But later on, it was plainly obvious his dizziness was due to his heart. He was so short of breath just walking from one room to another. They prescribed him one hour of oxygen a day, which later became two hours of oxygen a day. He also used nitrate under the tongue for his dizziness. The oxygen helped a lot and in the end, he was on it 24 hours a day. He lived to 100. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

notaclue	This is very intresting because my cardiologist insist "dizziness" is not cardiology related! After my stent however, the condition improved ten fold! They will also tell you a nagging cough is not heart related but again, after my stent-no more cough! ( we have serious genetic heart problems in our family to which the above has been a common factor prior to any negative heart diagnosis!) My mother had seven strokes to which each one had some effect. I know she complained about getting very dizzy on numerous occassions. We always assumed it was a prelude to either a TI or some form of stroke. She also had a pace maker too. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Frank	There are many possible causes, from inner-ear problems to blood pressure. In later life the cochlea ( basically the organ of balance) may be affected and requires an ENT examination (an Otorhinolargnygologist)...but also one must consider the volume of blood cells...a lack of blood cells causes a decrease in available oxygen to the brain, etc...walking would aggravate the problem...there are other causes too... Some of the OTC drugs such as Dramamine or other sea-sickness pills may help, but if it is not a matter of money/insurance have her examined by her regular physician (not surgeon., in medicine, we think they are the mechanics but physicians or specifically internists are the brains..) first, and then get referrals as needed or suggested. If I can do more, please contact me....I am an Internist...obviously better than a surgeon...I am joking, as surgeons are technical giants. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
