Causes and Solutions for Dizziness
Do you wonder if there are other symptoms that come with dizziness? There are many things that can make you dizzy. Some people feel dizzy because they didn’t get enough sleep, ate poorly, did too much exercise, or have an illness like a head cold or the flu. Even things like alcohol or certain medicines can make you feel dizzy.
Some things happening in your body, like orthostatic hypotension (which occurs when you stand up too fast after lying or sitting for a long time), or issues with your eyes or migraines, can also cause dizziness.
When you feel dizzy, you might also experience other things like:
- Feeling like you’re going to faint
- Seeing things like you’re looking through a tunnel
- Feeling heavy-headed or light-headed
- Feeling like you might throw up
- Not being steady on your feet
The best way to figure out what’s causing your dizziness is to see a physiotherapist. They can also help you find any other problems that might be making your condition worse.
How can physiotherapy help with dizziness?
Physiotherapy is a great way to deal with dizziness. Our expert physiotherapists are experienced in helping people with dizziness, lightheadedness, and other balance problems.
Our physiotherapists will look at your body and your medical history to create a plan that’s just right for you. We use methods that we know work and have been studied by experts. After we determine the cause of your dizziness, we will custom-tailor a program that’s all about you. It usually includes exercises, hands-on therapy, and information to help you get better.
We mainly focus on:
- Making your balance better: One common reason for dizziness is something in your inner ear called Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). We can help with special head and body movements that put things back in place and stop you from feeling dizzy.
- Doing balance exercises and exercises that help your brain and nerves work better, so you don’t feel as dizzy.
- Checking other things in your body, like your eyes and ears, and sometimes, we’ll ask other doctors like heart doctors to make sure there are no big problems. We’ll also look at your medicine to make sure it’s safe for you.
