Is Your Dizziness Accompanied By These Symptoms?

Dizziness can be caused by a lack of sleep, a poor diet, excessive exercise, or a disease such as a head cold or flu.

It can also be caused by something as simple as abruptly rising after lying or sitting for an extended time. Dizziness may be accompanied by the following symptoms:

  • Loss of balance
  • Feeling faint
  • Tunnel vision
  • Light-headedness or heavy-headedness

Seeing a physical therapist is the best way to discover the cause of your dizziness. There could be another underlying factor that you are unaware of.

Look Out For These Vertigo Symptoms

An imbalance in the inner ear, also known as the “vestibular system,” is the most common cause of vertigo. By sending signals about your movement to your brain, your vestibular system helps you maintain your balance and center of gravity. If this system is damaged or malfunctioning, the impulses required to keep you balanced are unable to reach your brain.

Vertigo is a natural reaction in which your body becomes unbalanced. This is difficult to manage because it interferes with your daily routine and lifestyle. Even when you are sitting, vertigo causes you to feel as if you are “rocking” or “spinning.”

Keep an eye out for the following symptoms:

  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Double vision
  • Sweating
  • Abnormal eye movements
  • Arm and leg weakness
  • Difficulty with vision and speaking
  • Unable to concentrate or stay alert

What Is Causing My Dizziness And Vertigo?

Vertigo and balance problems can be caused by a variety of conditions, including:

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)

BPPV is a common cause of vertigo. It occurs when tiny calcium crystals in your ears become dislodged and move into areas they don’t belong. This can result in vertigo (sudden spinning) and inner-ear discomfort, especially when laying down.

Meniere’s disease

This disease occurs when fluid accumulates in your ear(s). This is characterized by a “ringing” in the ears and sudden bouts of extreme dizziness that can last for hours. Temporary hearing loss is also possible.

Stroke

A stroke affects how the entire body moves. If you have recently had a stroke, you may experience vertigo waves that last for extended periods.

Vestibular neuritis

This is an infection of the inner ear that can cause vertigo.

Migraines

A migraine can affect the vestibular system, resulting in vertigo episodes that are sometimes accompanied by light or sound sensitivity. Your vision may also be impaired.

If any of these symptoms or conditions sound familiar, chances are your balance has been negatively affected. Seek help from our Quincy and Blairsden, CA licensed physical therapist at Plumas Physical Therapy for dizziness and vertigo relief!
