Hi, I am waiting for a rotten tooth (2nd molar, upper jaw) to be looked at
in the next few days but I'm noticing a bit of dizziness from time to time.

Is it possible this is related to the tooth?

Many thanks for any advice.

Very unlikely. I'd never say never, but generally in order for dental
infection to cause a symptom like dizziness you'd generally be expected
to be quite ill--you wouldn't have dizziness as an isolated symptom.

Doubtful.

Are you nervous about the apointment? It could be a side-effect of worrying
about the outcome and not a physiological one. Have you changed your
diet/food intake since realizing there is a rotten tooth? That might have
an effect too, as far as I know...

(I'm just speculating, does that sound reasonable?)

Thanks for the advice on this. I have been thinking about it and also did a
search about dizziness and I've come to the conclusion that it's anxiety.

I have worries about work, relationship, supporting my son etc. etc. at the
moment and I think it might be all piling up on me at the moment!
