Hi,
Diziness itself is not a disease, I would say there are so many other actions that denote it simply. Like you said you are facing it continuous basis and having a feeling of failing as well. In my opinion, there will be a possibility of Vertigo and disequilibrium behind the false sensation. Dizziness common symptom also includes headache, nausea, sensitivity to bright light, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, ear pain, facial numbness, eye pain, motion sickness, confused thinking, fainting, and clumsiness. Other than that if you are experiencing a drop in blood pressure & blood volume and motion sickness all these are possible trigger action of dizziness. Better to figure out the root of the problem rather than making an assumption.

It sems the possible cause could be low blood sugar levels. We will confirm this conditon by a physician as well

Hi.

Dizziness is a non-specific symptom and can be caused by many conditions.

Do you suffer from any hearing impairment? It might be unlikely for the dizziness to be associated with retinitis pigmentosa unless there is some hearing loss which could suggest the presence of Usher syndrome.

Common causes of dizziness include vestibular system disorders, including Meniere's disease, and  cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension and hypotension. Other causes include intake of certain drugs, low blood sugar levels, and migraines.

You should probably have your condition evaluated by a physician to determine exactly what may be causing your condition.

Good luck.
