unknown reason for vertigo

To the two "Angels" and all those who don't call themselves Angels but are...
I also have been having a bad case of vertigo. Have gone through cardiac tests, blood testing, saw an ENT, and in the middle of seeing a specialist for sleep apnea. We also tested for brain tumor.
But I think I have found a possible answer for my Dr here.
I had spine surgery about 4 months ago, had no problems until after three months . I mainly had to do nothing but heal the first three months. When I was allowed more movement, I started having headaches on the left side, neck, shoulder pain and pain in my right upper side. I am wondering if the dizziness is due to pain of healing in the neck and tight muscles from the movements I am doing now, (this is also the side of my breast surgery). I believe there is something to do with balance in that area of the neck also. If everything is tense???
PT could be the answer.
I am so frustrated no driving, holding on to walls and family, and walking unsteadily...
I love reading here and all the great information you all share. If PT will stop this "dizzy blond" from being one.. It sure would be wonderful!
Just to find a reason and help for it...wow
Hugs to you all,
