Fortunately, in most instances, the cause of dizziness is not very serious, and the problem may well resolve in time.

Balance disorders are almost always due to insufficient blood flow to the brain.
They are related to various physiological conditions often associated with anxiety. In addition, they can also be caused by head injuries, ear infections and viruses.

Or, other balance disorders can be cured or controlled by individualized treatment programs. Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that can affect one or both ears.
