Constant dizziness

Rach1009

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed around 2 years ago with Rhumatoid Arthritis. Since then I have had constant dizziness. It’s not a side effect from the meds as I was dizzy before I started them all.

I was just wondering if anyone else has been effected the same way ??? Desperately looking for answers 🤔

Good morning, @Rach1009 and welcome.

I see that you were given a diagnosis of RA some two years ago, but are now concerned at constant dizziness that predates your medication but not the diagnosis.

Here is a link to information on our website:

I can see no reference to dizziness. Perhaps other forum members have information?

Let us know how you get on.

It can be caused by all sorts of things but not, I think, RA. My first port of call would be to get my ears checked for wax. There is also something very common called benign positional vertigo. All to do with the ear crystals getting out of alignment.
