Many of us have experienced short bouts of dizziness from time to time. In some people, it becomes a regular occurrence. Although malnutrition or lack of sleep may be the cause of temporary dizziness, in most cases it is a symptom of serious medical conditions.

Dizziness can be accompanied by severe nausea, vomiting and tinnitus. Sometimes it is accompanied by a decrease in hearing, which may indicate vestibular problems.

Often, dizziness is a consequence of a recent head or neck injury, which can damage the cerebellum, which is responsible for balance. In the event of an injury, immediate medical attention should be sought.

Sometimes dizziness can be a consequence of brain intoxication caused by the use of certain drugs in high doses.

If dizziness is accompanied by weakness, loss of consciousness and other serious symptoms, it may indicate impaired cerebral circulation caused by various diseases such as diabetes mellitus, osteochondrosis of the neck, arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis and others.

In the case of sudden dizziness with severe weakness in the arms and legs, double vision and other serious symptoms, there may be a stroke. In case of such signs, you should urgently consult a doctor.

Recurrent attacks of vertigo require the attention of a specialist and appropriate examination to identify the cause and prescribe treatment, as ignoring this condition can lead to worsening.
