Dizziness can have many potential causes, such as cerebral hypoperfusion, cervical spondylosis, and others. Therefore, further diagnostic evaluation is essential. Additionally, a detailed review of the patient’s symptoms and medical history is necessary to refine the diagnosis. We recommend that the patient visit a reputable local hospital and consult a neurologist. Recommended investigations include brain and cervical spine MRI, transcranial Doppler ultrasound, lipid profile, and blood pressure measurement—aimed at identifying the underlying cause of the symptoms so that targeted, etiology-based treatment can be initiated.
