dizzyness

This is how I have been for the last few weeks, not actually head spinning but certainly "buzzing" a lot. Seems it is a sign of dehydration, so now I am drinking water like a fish to try and get back to normal. This intense heat here hasn't hepled

Re: dizzyness

It could be a lot of things.

I suffer from vertigo & often have that dizzy feeling.
Also it could be a problem with the inner ear or low blood pressure.

These are ailments I've had myself that cause dizziness.

I'm sure there are many more...

Re: dizzyness

Did your GP tell you that, RS?

I agree with Carol's post.

Also, you can usually tell if you need to drink more by the colour of your wee.

Re: dizzyness

don't what to bother the Dr abut it, too many run to the Dr over the most minor things when they have enough to deal with. Already taking a tablet for high blood pressure and that is now within the "normal" range
Its just a heat thing which also brings out a heat rash on the arms

Re: dizzyness

I get vertigo too, on & off, got it at present but it isn't bad, only when I lay down or get out of bed at present. I just pause til it goes. I haven't bothered the GP about it either, though I would if it was all the time & worse than it is.


RS, if yours gets worse you should get it checked out.

Re: dizzyness

R.S.. I've felt like that recently, and I read somewhere that dehydration can cause it , but as Carol said...so can other things...I usually feel a bit dizzy when hanging my washing on the line, always have to sit down once I'm inside, I keep a check on BP and it seems to be fine

Re: dizzyness

I've had that problem for five years. Google The Epley Maneuver. It did not work for me but apparently it works for many.

Re: dizzyness

I have done that EZ, it works for a while, but it comes back again.

Re: dizzyness

It can also be caused by a problem in the inner ear, where balance is regulated. Dizziness is often a result of vertigo as well.

Re: dizzyness

Yes, that is true.
I think RS should get it checked out if it keeps happening.
