Dizziness

Have you ever felt like the floor is tilting up towards you and is going to hit you smack dab in the middle of your forehead?

Have you ever looked around you and suddenly felt as if the room was spinning around, or have images swirled and spun around you?

If so, you have experienced a bout of dizziness…

Dizziness can happen for a variety of reasons. I?ve gotten it plenty of times when I forget to eat for an extended amount of time. I know that sounds silly. How does someone forget to eat? But I?ll bet lots of you reading this article have done it as well. In fact, when men with diabetes don’t take in the correct calories, dizzyness is often a result.You can also suffer from dizziness if you?re sick. An ear infection will really give you a good dose of dizziness because the liquid in your ear helps you to keep your balance. You can also have a viral infection and because your body is under attack and very weak, you may feel dizzy and this could cause vomiting. Strangely enough, sinus attacks can also trigger bouts of dizziness. An acute stroke can give you nausea and dizziness as well. If you suffer from a loss of speech or numbness in any part of the body along with the dizziness, you may be suffering a stroke and it is critical that you see a doctor immediately. Drug use and alcohol use can cause dizziness. Most of you have probably learned this first hand already. I know I have.

Sometimes you might feel dizzy, then light-headed and before you know it you?ve passed out. If this has happened to you, I hope for your sake that nothing was in your path when you went down like a sack of potatoes. You can also suffer from dizziness while exerting yourself. There is a good reason why exercise machines all have that warning label on them that reads ?if you?re feeling any dizziness, stop and take a rest? or some other similar warning. When your body is starved for oxygen, it doesn?t have the resources to power the muscles and brain, so you feel dizzy. It?s basically your body delivering a warning sign that says ?dude, stop whatever it is your doing, or else I?m shutting you down.? Dizziness is more common in older adults than it is in children or people who are in the prime of their lives. However, it is important to remember that no one is immune to dizziness. It can happen to anybody at any age especially with the presence of heart disease. Dizziness should be reported to your doctor. If you feel dizzy for prolonged periods, or you have frequent dizzy spells, then you should definitely see your family doctor. If you have other warning signs such as numbness in any part of your body, confusion or a loss of sight, you may be suffering a stroke and it is imperative that you contact the hospital immediately.

Don’t forget… dizziness is not a disease, it’s always a symptom of something else.
