Light-headedness is a common and often unpleasant sensation of dizziness and/or feeling that one may be about to faint , which may be transient, recurrent, or occasionally chronic . In some cases, the individual may feel as though his or her head is weightless. The individual may also feel as though the room is spinning or moving ( vertigo ). Most causes of dizziness are not serious and either cure themselves quickly or are easily treated. Keeping a sense of balance requires the brain to process a variety of information from the eyes , the nervous system , and the inner ears. However, if the brain can t process signals from all of these locations, if the messages are contradictory, or if the sensory systems aren t functioning properly, an individual may experience dizziness and loss of balance.
