I had something like this once. I would get dizzy spells anytime i moved my head it seem like. I had it for about two weeks. I went to the doctors and they did blood test, pregnancy test, and a whole bunch of other test as well. And all they could said was that i need to eat more fish? what was with that? it went away after a few more days but every once and a while i will still get a dizzy spell when a get up really fast or something like that.

This is a very general description. It could be his blood pressure or a heart defect. He definitely needs to see a doctor. He will need an EKG and bloodwork to get started.

yEP--- It could be a problem with the inner ear. There are to parts of the middle ear, one for balance and the other one for hearing. It can be secondary to virus or to other problems inside the balance part, he shuold see a Otorrilaringologist.

it could be a lot of things. low blood sugar can cause dizzyness, low blood pressure, low iron in the blood. should probbably see a doctor about it if it happens repeatedly. could even be worse andd caused by a brain tumor or something.

He could have a low white cell count. The doctor can give meds for that. Tell him to get to the doctor asap.

He needs to get a blood test to find out what it is. It could be high or low blood pressure, daibetes, etc.
