I keep having nervous and dizzy spells. Once I felt like I was going to pass out. It feels like the feeling you get when your coming down with the flu. The doctor gave me medicing for acid reflux but its not helping. I passed a stress test at the ER. What might this be neuro, cardio,? What specialist should I contact? I worry I have a tumor or something! Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for contacting Just Answer.
wile I am unable to offer you a specific diagnosis based on the present history, I believe that you need to be checked for thyroid abnormalities, anemia, and a detailed cardiac and neuro evaluation should be conducted to look for possibilities of various causes of dizziness/ spells.
If these are normal, then the possibility of an underlying anxiety disorder needs to be considered and evaluation by a mental health professional needs to considered too,
Do let me know if you have further questions, please accept the reply if you find it useful,
regards
Dr. Gupta
