Does Anemia Or Dehydration Cause Dizzy Spell?b

Hello! I m Suzanne. I just turned twenty five, I ve been diabetic (type two) for a few years now. I also was born with a genetic brain disorder that results in parts of my brain not functioning, in areas of memory and sense especially, as I have severe sensory integration. As I grew up symptoms were easier to bear of course, but today after lunch I got so dizzy and nauseated that I felt overwhelmingly sick. Couldn t look at screens, listen to any sound or music without feeling worse. I don t have low or high blood pressure, and I haven t had an episode like that in a long time. Could my anemia or dehydration have been a cause?

HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
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 case , since you have a significant history of Brain disorder I would like to rule out Brain problems first before going for evaluation of other causes. So I recommend you to get MRI Brain and if it shows no new changes then go for the below advised test.

Get your Hemogobin , Serum Sodium levels, Serum TSH and Serum Vitamin B12 levels checked and if they are normal get a ECG and a ENT check up done .

Hope this information is useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
