Dizziness Due to Illness

Dizziness can be the side effects of illness or other health conditions like Migraines, stress, anxiety, dehydration, diabetes or low blood sugar levels, etc.

Medications

Dizziness is a very common side effect of many long-term medications. Medications can take a while to normalize in the body as everyone metabolizes them slightly differently.

Ear Infections

One very common type of ear infection is labyrinthitis. It is often called vestibular neuritis. It can make you dizzy as it affects the inner ear, which is in charge of your balance.

Vertigo

vertigo is a type of dizziness that makes the world feel like it is spinning. It usually goes away on its own, but taking antihistamines might help in the short term.

Low Blood Pressure

If you get dizzy when you stand up suddenly, or after exercise, hypotension, could be the cause.

Arteriosclerosis

Arteriosclerosis this condition happens when you have clogged arteries from a buildup of fatty substances over the years. It can cause dizziness, but more seriously, also stroke and heart attacks.

Tinnitus

Tinnitus refers to a sound in the ears that does not come from an outside source. It could be a ringing, hissing, or buzzing.

Conclusion

When you feel dizzy, it can feel as though it might never end, but for most people moving slowly, lying down, and having a drink of water should help it pass. However, if it is affecting your health or if it is getting worse, see your doctor.
