Severe dizziness (vertigo) is a state of disorientation in the space of a person’s body or a feeling of movement of objects around him.
The vast majority of people have experienced it at least once in their lives, starting from childhood. This phenomenon can be compared to riding on a swing or spinning for a long time in one place.
If this symptom is one-time in nature, then it is completely harmless. However, when disorientation accompanies you on a regular basis, then this is a cause for concern.
There are many types and reasons for the appearance of the “illusion of movement”. In what diseases do they appear:
- violations vestibular analyzer;
- internal illnesses;
- visual impairment;
- lesions of the cervical spine;
- dysfunction of the blood supply to the brain;
- physiological dizziness.
After headaches, complaints to doctors about a pre-fainting state, when “the earth is spinning around”, take 2nd place.
Severe dizziness is not a separate disease. This is the most common symptom of the presence of pathology in the body, even a tumor.

- stroke (hemorrhagic or ischemic);
- dysfunction of the blood flow of the vertebral artery;
- neoplasms (tumors) of the brain;
- syncopal (basilar) migraine;
- epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, vascular vasculitis;
- encephalopathy due to alcohol abuse;
- otitis of various types;
- Meniere's disease.
It is worth noting that vertigo often appears after taking psychotropic drugs or drugs that affect the central nervous system.
Causes of false dizziness

During lipotomy, you may feel nauseous, weakness appears, and fear often arises in anticipation of fainting.
Reasons for lipotomy:
- hypo- and hypertension, atherosclerosis;
- cardiovascular system disorders;
- during an attack of hypocemia (diabetes mellitus);
- blood diseases;
- neuroses, stress, phobias;
- dysfunction of the spinal cord;
- ocular dysfunctions;
- infections;
- chronic alcoholism;
- Shy-Drager syndrome.
Often lipotomy occurs in young people and children adolescence due to VSD disorders (vegetative-vascular dystonia). 
Women feel dizzy
The female sex is especially susceptible to pain and jumps blood pressure which are often accompanied by severe dizziness.
Changes to hormonal background during pregnancy, PMS (menstruation), during menopause similarly provoke a state of disorientation.
Most women have a poorly developed balance apparatus (vestibular). Even a flight on an airplane or a regular trip in transport can cause lightheadedness.
The sensitivity of the female nervous system to stress, emotions, depression, as well as overwork, fatigue or chronic lack of sleep may cause frequent dizziness.
In men
Of the stronger sex, workaholics and those with bad habits most often suffer from this disease.

For example, the presence of infection, intoxication, head injury or the development of other severe pathologies.
When you get up (when changing body position)
The main cause of this malaise is a violation of the vestibular analyzer. Traumatic brain injury or stroke can also leave traces in the form of an erroneous assessment of the body's position in space.
Inflammatory processes in the ears, neuritis, sharp jumps pressures can cause changes in your sense of coordination and balance when getting out of bed in the morning.
It is believed that people who have a sedentary job or lead a passive lifestyle are most susceptible to dizziness when changing body position when standing up. Symptoms intensify in the presence of osteochondrosis.

Dizziness may be accompanied by pain in the ears, stomach, spine, or cervical spine. In any case, this is always considered a sign of the development of the disease.
What is vertigo syndrome?
Vertigo syndrome is an illusory state of one's own rotation or space, accompanied by the inability to coordinate one's movements.
The name itself contains the essence of the problem. Vertigo is a sensation of objects spinning around the body with loss of balance. When walking, a person begins to stagger and does not feel support.
IN human body There are two organs - labyrinths, responsible for coordination:
- vestibular apparatus, located in the inner ear;
- the cerebellum and cerebral cortex, in which the main nerve centers are located.
What causes vertigo syndrome is irritation or dysfunction of one of the labyrinths leading to an imbalance of signals entering the brain.
Central vertigo
Central vertigo - this means dizziness is characterized by slow development, mild symptoms, but at the same time they are permanent. 
CV is caused by a malfunction of the brain. Usually accompanied by increased sweating, attacks of nausea, and unusual heart rhythm.
The signs are weak, there is no reaction from the vestibular analyzer. At therapeutic therapy improvement comes slowly.
Main factors:
- epilepsy;
- tumors;
- impaired blood circulation in parts of the brain;
- migraine.
Numerous studies have revealed vertigo of psychogenic origin, which is provoked by emotions and experiences.
Peripheral
Peripheral vertigo is associated with disorders of the vestibular apparatus and the central nervous system. It starts suddenly and also stops unexpectedly.
Every day of illness is difficult, powerlessness can drag on for an indefinite period of time. A person can not only stagger when walking, but also fall, his head becomes cloudy.
Usually accompanied by:
- hearing impairment, may have ringing in the ears;
- gag reflex, stomach cramps;
- heat, temperature, excessive sweating;
- darkening of the eyes;
- decreased blood pressure;
- rapid heartbeat.
The complex of these symptoms is called vestibulo-atactic syndrome. 
Systemic
Systemic (or true) vertigo is the most common, otherwise called vestibular ataxia.
In addition to discomfort from nausea in the morning, instability, and lack of coordination, there is a symptom of a premonition of falling or loss of consciousness.
Various provoking factors:
- neurological;
- otolaryngological;
- cardiovascular;
- metabolic;
- psychogenic.
Systemic dizziness occurs in attacks. May be permanent or paroxysmal.
Physiological
Often a state of severe dizziness is a reaction to life situations. This condition applies to in a safe way dizziness.
What are the symptoms associated with:
- adrenaline rush - overwork, stress or, on the contrary, an emotional outburst in moments of joy and happiness;
- fast movement - movement in one direction is expected, but it happens in the opposite direction;
- disturbance of gaze focusing - usually occurs at height or when looking into the distance for a long time;
- hunger - the cause can be all kinds of diets, long breaks between meals or low social level;
- sharp turns, bends, rotational movements - usually found in adolescents and young adults due to the immaturity of the autonomic system.
Loss of coordination of movements: diseases
Dizziness is often accompanied by an inability to coordinate your movements. Symptoms can be caused by various diseases. 
Table with the most common reasons:
| Name | Description |
| Post-traumatic vertigo | After injury to bone membranes and fractures of the pyramid of the temporal bones |
| Toxic damage to the vestibular nerve | Caused by taking various drugs or medications |
| Cholesteatoma (tumor resulting from inflammation inner ear) | As a result of wall disease tympanic cavity lose their integrity |
| Barotrauma | Diagnosed when diving on greater depth, coughing, straining, accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the eardrum |
| Vestibular neuronitis | A type of systemic vertigo syndrome of unknown etiology |
| BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) | A very common pathology, most often occurs in people over 50 years of age |
| Labyrinthitis | Inflammatory processes in the inner ear due to damage by bacteria or viruses |
| Meniere's disease | Characterized by involuntary jerking movement eyeballs with a certain rhythm, accompanied by low vision |
| Brain stem damage due to stroke | The patient experiences disturbances in the processes of articulation, speech, swallowing, and coordination |
| Basilar migraine | Accompanied by dizziness, headache, blurred vision and consciousness |

- study of the cellular composition of blood and urine;
- undergoing radiography, EEG, CT or MRI of the spine;
- passing vestibulometry, stabilography, rotational tests, etc.
Based on the patient’s complaints and initial tests, it is selected certain type studies outlined above.
How to remove with tablets (first aid)

However, there are times when dizziness allows one to really suspect serious problems with health.
Why do you feel dizzy?
IN general outline The causes of dizziness are simple. Most often, vertigo occurs when the connection between the brain and inner ear where the vestibular apparatus is located. The brain loses orientation in space, which causes the feeling that the ground is disappearing from under your feet. To stay in vertical position, Gray matter triggers a cascade of reactions designed to restore a sense of balance. Some of these reactions also affect the vomiting center, which is why dizziness is often accompanied by an attack of nausea. This, for example, happens when . However, this is a slightly different story.
Fortunately, such loss of contact between the brain and the vestibular system occurs infrequently and lasts just a few seconds. Doctors can't see What Causes Dizziness? in such short-term incidents there is cause for panic.
Also, don't worry too much if you feel dizzy for longer, but there are a few common causes. These include:
- alcohol intoxication;
- side effects from medications taken (check the instructions!);
- overheating and thermal shock;
- traveling by car, bus or ship;

Dizziness - no independent disease, and a symptom that can accompany more than 80 physiological conditions and diseases.
Did you notice the phrase “in most cases”? Let's move on to the minority - those conditions that can carry real threat for health and even life. And dizziness is the most important symptom here.
When is dizziness dangerous?
Neurologists identify six conditions 6 Signs A Sudden Dizzy Spell Could Be Something More Serious, in which vertigo is the key and almost the only symptom that suggests the development of a serious, but still hidden disease.
1. Feeling dizzy often and lasting longer than a few minutes
This may indicate serious violations Dizziness in the functioning of the inner ear. For example, about vestibular neuritis ( viral infection vestibular nerve) or labyrinthitis (otitis internal).
Such diseases are dangerous because at first they can be almost asymptomatic, and later their pathogens can infect the brain and nervous system- up to death.
2. Dizziness is accompanied by severe weakness, numbness of a part of the body, problems with speech and/or vision
Attention: this combination of symptoms may be a sign! Stroke is a disorder cerebral circulation. According to statistics Stroke statistics, it is the second (after myocardial infarction) cause of death in Russia.
Be sure to check a person who experiences this type of dizziness with a one-minute test Got a Minute? You Could Diagnose Stroke:
- Ask the patient to smile widely, showing his teeth. If a person has a stroke, the smile will not be symmetrical: the corners of the lips will freeze at different levels.
- Ask them to close their eyes and raise their hands. Stroke (more precisely, the disruption caused by it nerve endings and muscle weakness) will not allow the victim to raise his arms to the same height.
- Offer to repeat after you a simple sentence of a few words. For example: “There is nothing wrong with me, and now it will become obvious.” If a stroke occurs, it will be difficult for a person to remember and reproduce the phrase. In addition, his pronunciation will be unclear, with a clear lisp on voiced consonants.
You can check yourself in the same way.
If at least one task fails, immediately call an ambulance. Stroke is extremely dangerous Stroke statistics: Up to 84% of patients die or remain disabled and only about 16% recover. You have only 3-6 hours to try to be among the lucky ones with the help of doctors.
3. You always feel dizzy when you stand up.
Short-term orthostatic hypotension (decreased blood pressure, including in the brain, which causes dizziness) - a fairly common condition and not that dangerous.
Most often it is due to the fact that there is not enough fluid in the body. Due to mild dehydration, the blood becomes thicker and blood circulation worsens, so it is not difficult to develop orthostatic hypotension when rising to your feet from a lying or sitting position. This problem can be solved simply: do not forget, especially in the hot summer or during serious physical activity.
But if you are absolutely sure that you are not dehydrated, and dizziness accompanies every rise, you should visit a therapist as soon as possible. These symptoms indicate possible cardiovascular diseases(arrhythmia, heart failure) or neuropathy - non-inflammatory nerve damage.
4. You have had unbearable headaches
If your dizziness lasts several hours or more, occurs regularly, and you have had a splitting headache in the past, be sure to consult with your GP to get it diagnosed possible reasons and consequences.
We warn you: you may need hardware diagnostics - CT or MRI, the referral for which will again be given by a doctor.
5. You recently hit your head
Vertigo is one of the most striking symptoms. It is important to consult a physician as soon as possible to exclude serious damage and tissue swelling.
6. You always feel dizzy while exercising.
Most often, the above-mentioned dehydration is to blame for such conditions. Or hyperventilation: due to rapid breathing the level of oxygen in the blood increases and the content decreases carbon dioxide, which causes dizziness. Therefore, it is important to drink an adequate amount of fluid for the load and not be too zealous with cardio exercises.
If you are absolutely sure that you are drinking your quota of water, and your head begins to feel dizzy even during absolutely “retired” exercises, visit your doctor. In this case, it is necessary to exclude the possibility of potentially dangerous cardiovascular disorders.
Everyone has felt dizzy at least once. It often occurs due to a lack of oxygen in the brain or poor circulation.
But in some cases, this symptom also indicates other diseases. overcome unpleasant problem folk remedies for dizziness will help.
Differently similar condition called vertiligo. In this case, it seems to the person that the objects around him are rotating, and orientation in space is disrupted.
