Dizziness: Common Causes and What You Can Do To Feel Better
Dizziness is the disorienting feeling of being unbalanced or lightheaded. You may feel like you’re about to faint or your surroundings are moving or spinning around you.
Both feelings sometimes occur along with nausea or vomiting. Dizziness is not a medical condition on its own. It’s a symptom of an underlying cause.
Some possible causes of dizziness include:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
- Poor blood circulation
- Low blood sugar
- Low blood pressure
- Taking certain medications
- Certain conditions, such as anemia, migraines, or anxiety
- Stroke
- Motion sickness
- Head injuries
When you start to feel dizzy, lying down as soon as possible can often help. If you have a severe case of vertigo, close your eyes while lying down. If you feel overheated, take a cool drink and move to a shaded or air-conditioned area.
Treating your dizziness usually involves treating one of these other conditions.
