I am experiencing dizziness for the past week. Should I go for an MRI?
Lately, I've been feeling dizzy and have a nagging headache. This has only been happening for a week, but it is consistent and it just doesn't seem to dull down at all with any pain medication. Do you think I should go for an MRI? My family says that I should, but I kind of want to see if these symptoms subside before I do.

Chances are this is something common like migraine. Suggest you start with your family doctor to get in the "right ballpark". Best wishes!
An MRI brain scan is a test that should only be ordered after a detailed neurological history and exam. You should not delay. Please see your doctor ASAP.
Yes, but first a neurological exam would be the best start.
