Dizzy spells- lightheaded or room spinning? Fluttery heart beat?
I have had vestibular neuritis- antivert took care of that but sinus infections can bring on the vertigo. Have had hypo and hyper thyroidism- both left me weak and have spells of dizziness. The hyper was accompanied with heart problems needing Inderal to treat. There of course there is the dizziness caused from low blood sugar and eating protein and a carb pared together takes care of that.
Poor sleep can bring it on- always dizzy with severe lack of sleep.
Of course there are worse things like Lupus, MS, etc. acoustic nerve inflammation called vestibular neuritis (lasts about a year).
Only reasons I can come up with for dizziness at the moment- I know there are a millions reasons why.
If you are a worst case scenario thinker- no it could not be a brain tumor- very unlikely. Was a neuro nurse and the only tumors that start out with dizziness are acoustic neuroma's and they are not too common and you have to be a lot older. Otherwise all most all brain tumors are metastatic or primary and the primary always have seizures.
Good luck getting it resolved.
