Other Causes of Dizziness

It's easy to brush off getting dizzy once or twice. But when dizziness starts coming and going repeatedly, you might start wondering: How do you know if dizziness is serious?

When you have frequent dizziness and start thinking about where the root cause might be, rarely does the neck come to mind.
