Vertigo

I am also feel so terribly dizzy and nauseous today. I feel terrible and actually fell down. I think it is my Meniere's disease that has come back--I hate this! My MD took me off my high blood pressure medicine (a diuretic) cause my BP became too low, so I think that may be the cause. I will call my ENT tomorrow morning--I feel like I am rolling on a ship, sort of seasick. I also have this horrible constant stabbing pain in my right side of my stomach. Does anyone think this could be connected to the dizziness? The first thing to do is find a safe place to sit down and alert someone trusted if possible. The dizziness can be related to many different things, so if it is re-occurring you should visit a doctor. Some common causes are a drop in blood sugar so eating something may be helpful. I find gatorade to be amazing in these situations and always stock some in my fridge. Do you already know the cause of dizziness or have any ideas? This can help narrow down some answers.

Vertigo is the sensation that the room or your surroundings are whirling or spinning. This may be caused when your sensory nerves send incorrect signals to and from your brain.

Light headedness or wooziness is a feeling that you may faint, but you do not feel as if you or your surroundings are moving. Light headedness usually is a result of a lowering of your blood pressure or not enough blood flow to your head when you get up too quickly from a chair or out of bed. This might be a result of dehydration. It is a feeling of weakness or unsteadiness.

Chemotherapy may cause the side effect of dizziness. Some medications that might have this side effect are faslodex, femara, and fareston.

Here are some tips that may help if you are feeling dizzy: drink lots of fluids, try not to make quick movements, keep a telephone near in case you fall, keep the floors clear of clutter, and your living area well lighted.
