That could be--I've had migraine issues for years.

I'm lucky that I discovered that routine chiropractor adjustments really do the trick for my migraines, but the dizziness still comes every so often, usually upon standing up in dim lighting (now that I'm thinking about it, it's probably an early warning sign I'm due for an adjustment).

I fell once and hit my head on a steel shelf (due to the dizziness--not a cause of the dizziness) and got a concussion, so that's definitely something to be concerned about if you're having dizziness. I now know to stop moving, lower my head, and hold onto something stationary. That was what led me to a chiropractor to begin with, that middle of the night fall. After a couple of treatments, I realized the migraines stopped. Back then, I was taking Imetrex, and it wasn't really helping me very well. I guess the fall was a good thing!
