Have had a couple of really severe dizzy spells over the past few months.When I say severe I mean if there was not a place to sit I would be on the floor.Last for several minutes at a time.Blood pressure seems ok.Anyone ever had the same thing and if so what was the cause.

I'm only 20, but I have a heart condition which cause me to nearly black out at times. It is called ventricular tachycardia. I usually have a very hard and fast heart beat that accompanies my dizzy spells. Sometimes I have trouble breathing, too. And yes, I have been to a doctor about it.

Inner ear problem is a possibility.You need to go see your PCP.

Lots of possibilities including inner ear, heart, etc. Could just need a good ear flushing. Could be much worse.

Definitely need to see your doc.

Haney, I'm not making light, but I've had some too. Been through a gauntlet of tests and no one can tell me why. Last time, I was ready with both blood pressure and blood glucose monitor and was absolutely find according to the readings.

I used to have spells quite often where I would get dizzy and my eyes would start shaking back and forth Uncontrollably at a high rate. Couldn't see much but a blur of everything in front of me. Hasnt happened in years but I probably shoulda had it checked out.

Probably just part of getting to be an old fart.Longevity is not a common thing in my dads side of the family.High blood pressure and the like has killed off everyone but me and I am at the edge of the usual age of passing on to the happy hunting ground.I take my daily pill and pray for long life.

I suffered from an inner ear injury. Doctors were worthless as vertigo consumed my life. Long story short, a snowboarding accident fixed my ear. So I've learned to slam my head on the floor to "re-fix" my ear when an "adjustment" is needed. I've been fine for over a year, but my boxing career was over before it began. Lol. I can definitely feel your pain. My life sucked when there was no help for my vertigo....prayers your way.
