built 634 days ago
Dizziness may ... be caused by medications (especially blood pressure medications), anxiety disorders, or excessive consumption of drugs, alcohol, caffeine, or nicotine. If you start a new medication or change dosage you may experience dizziness.

Some disorders tend to cause temporary dizziness. For example, a person who has a heart attack may suddenly feel dizzy (usually light-headed) and continue to feel that way for a few days to a few weeks. As the heart heals, the feeling goes away. With other disorders, how long dizziness will last is uncertain. For example, if a person with diabetes develops dysequilibrium, it may go away in a month, or it may last for a lifetime (although its severity may vary). Depression sometimes causes dizziness.

The dizziness, lightheadedness, unsteadiness or vertigo sensations you may feel are very real. Specific causes can be identified with an appropriate medical evaluation and tests conducted by a qualified clinician. The great news is that, once identified, most dizziness disorders can be successfully treated.

Physicians typically associate four disorders with dizziness: vertigo, disequilibrium, presyncope and nonspecific dizziness. Individuals can often treat infrequent or minor episodes of dizziness by sitting or lying down and reducing consumption of stimulants such as caffeine and tobacco.

Other Inner Ear Disorders: Bacterial infections or allergic conditions may inflame or congest the balancing mechanisms of the inner ear, creating a sense of dizziness. These conditions are suggested by symptoms related to the sinus cavities of the face and the ear, sore throat, or allergies.
