Dizziness and balance disorders
-
Dizziness is a scary symptom. Sometimes dizziness refers to a faint, light-headed feeling, a feeling of fainting. This form is caused by, for example, cardiac arrhythmias, low blood pressure, stress and strong emotions. Vertigo is even more frightening: The world is turning into a spinning merry-go-round and you can't get off it. Your vestibular organ is lost! Do the dizzy spells arise when you bend over, turn over in bed and look up? It may then be BPPV.

Meniere's disease
-
Meniere's disease produces structural dizziness. There is an increase in the amount of liquid in the labyrinth. The increased pressure that this creates can affect the nerve cells in the wall of the labyrinth, disrupting the balance. The nearby cochlea can also be damaged, resulting in impaired hearing. The disease first occurs in one ear, but half of sufferers later get it in the other ear. From time to time, attacks can occur, ranging from a few hours to a few days. There will be severe dizziness, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, ringing in the ears
Faintness
-
Low blood pressure can lead to a reduced blood supply and thus oxygen to the brain, such that one can pass out. This may be due to an illness, but more often it is a physical reaction to, for example, a sudden emotion such as panic, fear or disgust, malnutrition, being in a warm, busy or stuffy environment for too long, hyperventilation complaints, dehydration or excessive blood loss during, for example, menstruation]

Other types of dizziness
-
Hyperventilation - Tension, anxiety and depression can be a pre-factor for shallow breathing (hyperventilation) and one of the complaints is dizziness. Because dizziness in itself evokes fear, a vicious circle arises. Travel Sickness - Seasickness, air sickness, and motion sickness are known for dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Due to the movements of the environment, the balance organ is, as it were, overworked. Vision disorders - Many visual field disorders and especially the eye muscles can cause dizziness, such as paralysis of the eye muscles, but also the use of new glasses. Nervous System Disorders - Disturbances in the muscles and nerves that control posture and balance can also cause dizziness. This could include damage to the neck such as whiplash, but also disturbances in the deep sensation in the muscles of the nervous system in the legs. Trigger points in the sternocleidomastoid - This muscle is located on the side of the neck and, when tense and with muscle knots, can lead to various ear and jaw complaints, including dizziness. Metabolic disorders - Low blood sugar (hypo) in diabetes can cause a disorder in the control centers in the brain and cause dizziness. Superior canal dehiscence syndrome - SCDS is an abnormality of the inner ear that causes sound and pressure changes to induce dizziness. Dizziness in pregnancy - Dizziness in pregnancy is complex and can be caused by, among other things, sudden drops in blood pressure, difficulty in returning the blood due to increased pressure in the abdomen, low blood sugars, anemia, and oxygen deprivation due to pressure on a vein in the supine position. Poisoning - Alcohol poisoning and drug addiction can lead to symptoms of dizziness. Angular nerve tumor - A benign tumor on the vestibular nerve can cause dizziness but can also cause ringing in the ears on one side. Insecurity in movement - Especially in old age, an unsteady feeling in the legs can occur when standing and walking, while the complaints disappear when sitting and lying down. Several factors play a role in this type of dizziness, including poor vision, weakness of the leg muscles, foot problems and medication side effects.
