Dizziness Report
Dizziness is often described as feelings of lightheadedness, floating, wooziness, giddiness, confusion, disorientation, loss of balance, or feeling loopy. Causes may stem from ear problems, low blood pressure, reduced intake of oxygen, reaction or sensitivity to chemicals, drugs or other substances.
