Hi, Tony. I was dizzy daily up until about three months ago. It wasn't a head-spinning, walk-into-walls dizzy, but more of a lightly-drunken/tipsy feeling that caused me to wander about +/- 1 foot off a straight line as I walked, say, down the hall at work. I had an ENG test done and the doctor found no inner ear problems. I was about to try a neurologist next.
Then about three months ago (around Thanksgiving, or so) the dizziness changed from the pretty much constant drunken feeling to a sharp "ping" feeling when I moved my head. What that means is that when I would turn my head or body I would often get a burst of dizziness that hit strong and died out in about the time it took to say ping.
I still have that a few times a week now, but the intensity is way down to barely noticeable. I've never been able to find any correlation between the "ping" and direction of turn, speed of turn, position of head, anything. And I've never been able to intentionally cause it to happen with any repeatability.
If you're worried about it, I advise you see your doctor. Dizziness could be caused by all sorts of things from your heart to your brain and should not be dismissed lightly.
Good luck, Tony. And congratulations on 16 days quit. :)
