Your doctor may ask you to describe how your dizziness feels, what makes it worse, and what makes it better. He or she may do some movement tests. By moving your body in different ways, your doctor will try to see what brings on your dizziness. Your doctor may also check your blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing. Dizziness can be caused by anxiety or problems in your inner ear, heart, or nervous system. Some medicines can cause dizziness. Tell your doctor what medicines you are taking so they can be adjusted or changed, if needed.
