I feel a constant dizziness. What can it be?

Expert answer:

There are many causes for dizziness. THE constant dizziness can be caused by vision diseases, neurological diseases, labyrinth diseases, head trauma, diabetes, medication use, anemia, low or high blood pressure, among many others.

Between the eye diseases which can cause dizziness are cataracts, glaucoma, myopia, and farsightedness. Some of the neurological diseases that may be at the root of constant dizziness are strokes (stroke), Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and brain tumors.

O diabetes can cause dizziness due to loss of sensation in legs and feet, causing imbalance and dizziness.

The head trauma can cause injury to the brain region responsible for balance, causing dizziness.

There are still medicines which can affect the balance and cause dizziness such as Diazepam, Fernobarbital, Metoclopramida, among others.

Already the diseases of the labyrinth actually cause vertigo. While dizziness is characterized by a feeling of loss of balance and falling, as if the person no longer feels the ground, the dizziness gives the feeling that everything around is spinning or tilting. Vestibular neuritis, meniere's disease and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo are some of these diseases.

At anemia, dizziness is caused by lack of oxygen in the brain. The low amount of hemoglobin (protein that attaches to oxygen to transport it through the blood) decreases brain oxygenation, causing dizziness.

Already the high or low blood pressure can interfere with the blood supply to the brain or labyrinth, which can lead to dizziness and imbalance.

Since constant dizziness can be a symptom of serious illness, it is very important to seek a family physician or general practitioner to receive an adequate diagnosis.
