Helen M - The short answer is yes, problems with the carotid artery such as blockage can cause dizziness. That being said, it is very, VERY unlikely to be a cause for dizziness, if you don't already have problems with the carotid. Dizziness on its own is far more likely to be caused by a number of causes, including flu, hunger, high or low blood pressure, headache or migraines, and problems with the inner ear.

ReplyDeleteckm1956 - It is EXTREME:Y unlikely. In fact, there has to be significantly narrowed carotids on BOTH sides.
ReplyDeleteAs the first answer said, it's more likely something else.
