Why Does Dizziness Often Occur ?

My dad gets tired after doing anything including light work and walking. He is 57, seen his cardiologist, did a stress test and no blockage was found. His BP is all over the map -- high to normal to low same with the pulse. He gets pale after any activity. Today he woke up dizzy when he walks around. Any thoughts?

HI

Thanks for posting your query.

There are many causes for Dizziness, from simple and easily treatable causes to serious causes .

Simple causes are :

1. Abnormalities in BP: Both high and low BP can cause dizziness.
2. Abnormalities in Blood sugars: Both high and low Blood sugars can cause dizziness.

3. Abnormalities in blood sodium levels.
4. Low Hemoglobin ( Anemia )
5. Inner Ear problems .

Some serious problems are :

1. Heart Problems
2: Brain problem

In your dad's case , high BP is one possible cause of Dizziness . So kindly get his BP checked and if it's high ask your doctor to add an additional BP medications and if it's low ask him to reduce your Present medication.

Also get his Hemogobin , Serum Sodium levels, Fasting and Post prandial blood sugars checked and if they are normal get an ENT check up done .

Hope you find this information useful .
