ARE YOU DIZZY - HEALTH-RELATED?

Dizziness is all but unusual in our modern society. Unfortunately, it is a manifold result of certain health issues we better understand to manage their underlying causes. As documented, scientifically verified, by 8 examples. Read on to learn about details.   

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND

Dizziness is a trivial but still debilitating health issue. Potentially caused by personal or external situations, medications or underlying situations. Manifold related to underlying health conditions. Feeling potentially of lightheadedness and physical unsteadiness. To fight it off, requires understand the actual background of which there are many causes potentially. With dizziness felt, e.g., after standing up too fast.
 

CAUSES OF DIZZINESS – SCIENTIFICALLY VERIFIED
 

Just to cover some health-related issues causing dizziness, in following.
 
Based on research at, inter alia,
- Campbell University in Lillington & Buies Creek, NC
   &
- Southeastern Regional Medical Center
with subsidiaries inter alia in
Newman, GA
Lumberton, NC
Cambridge, OH
West Burlington, IA
 
These medical relations in detail:
 

•       Vertigo

 
This type of dizziness can happen in the inner ear. With health-related conditions.
 
Caused e.g. by
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
This can happen if calcium particles collect in inner ear canals.
Or
- Labyrinthitis
Because of inflammation in inner ear due to infection after flu or cold.
Or
- Meniere’s disease.
When fluid builds up in inner ear.
 
Also
 

• Inner ear disease autoimmune

 
This can happen when immune system is fights against inner ear. Potentially leading to hearing loss in left and/or right ear.
 
Potentially leading to
- tinnitus
- losing balance/coordination
   and finally
- dizziness 
 
Not to overlook
 

• Migraine

 
As a type of repeating headache with potentially frequent dizziness. When this happens, it is called vestibular migraine. This can potentially come with poor sleep/dehydration/visual stimuli/hormonal changes/stress.
 

• Stress

 
In fact, if stress comes ‘chronic’, it is not only related to dizziness but potentially also to
- heart disease
- diabetes
- depression
   &
- anxiety 

More than that:
 

• Anxiety

 
Dizziness is a typical feature of anxiety.
 
Related to, inter alia,
- fast heart rate
- sleep problems
- worry
- dry mouth
- poor concentration
- mood variations
- headache
- restlessness
- sweating
- irritability
 

• Low blood pressure

             
Such a case can lead to lightheadedness (e.g. in cases standing up quickly). Or in cases of blood loss or dehydration.
 
Or swallowing antidepressive medications.
 
Another interesting type of ‘low blood’ is …
 

• Low blood sugar

 
Needless to stress that especially for diabetics (or to avoid diabetes, respectively) appropriate ‘low’ blood sugar is of high relevance.
 
Still, ‘low’ meaning ‘below normal’ and this is not ‘good’ as well. Causing dizziness.  
 
As this can happen e.g. by
- skipping meals
- taking medications like aspirin or insulin
- consuming too much alcohol 

Leading to certain mental/physical symptoms (besides dizziness/lightheadedness) such as, inter alia 
- mood changes
- difficult concentration
- headache
- loss of balance
- hunger
- fatigue
- irregular heartbeat
 

• Cardiovascular disease

 
Just as congestive heart failure (as a type of cardiovascular disease) can be related to dizziness, buildup of plaque in arteries can. Feeling dizzy and lightheaded before potential stroke or heart attack.
 
And other additional symptoms such as, inter alia,
- fatigue
- shortness of breath
- irregular heartbeat
- vomiting
- nausea
- discomfort/tightness in chest
- excessive fluid in feet/arms/legs
- cough in persistent way
