Have you had inner ear problems ruled out by an ENT Specialist or a Neurologist?  Sounds like vertigo, not dizziness.

Hi there. The causes of dizziness or giddiness can be many involving various systems like postural hypotension, cerebrovascular disease, and cardiac arrhythmias. Certain neurological conditions like benign intracranial hypertension, peripheral neuropathy, meniere’s disease, vestibular migraine etc. Various metabolic causes can also cause giddiness like hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, anemia, panic attacks.  Your neurologist should rule out cervical spondylosis, rheumatoid arthritis, alcoholism, and as a side effect to various antihypertensive and anti arrhythmic. You need to be checked for ischemic heart disease, a detailed evaluation for cerebrovascular disease and other possible etiologies. Dizziness needs to be distinguished as to whether it is vertigo, presyncope, disequilibrium, or non-specific dizziness. Therapy would be according to the cause and diagnosis. Hope this helps. Take care.
