Hello, I understand this is a scary situation for you.Some of the most common treatments for dizziness are: *Moving slowly if standing or sitting leads to light-headedness *Limiting use of alcohol, salt, caffeine, and tobacco *Resting in a cool place and rehydrating if dizziness is due to overheating and dehydration. You should drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. *Staying well hydrated, especially in warm weather *Avoiding reading, adjusting the gps or radio when in a moving vehicle *Improving balance through exercise (yes, this is important) Treatments, of course, depend on the reason for your dizziness. Some of the most common reasons for this aggravating condition are: *Feeling faint after standing or sitting up quickly, due to a drop in blood pressure. This cause is most common among older adults.This is called orthostatic hypotension, yet does not sound like what you are experiencing. *Overheating. Activity in hot weather can cause dehydration or make people feel lightheaded. Some medications, such as diuretics, may make this condition worse. *Low blood sugar levels. More common in individuals with diabetes, this condition can prompt unsteadiness, sweating, and anxiety. *Medications. Lightheadedness is a side effect of many medications. These can include antidepressants, sedatives, tranquilizers, and drugs for high blood pressure and seizures. *Anxiety. Feeling faint is a common symptom of panic attacks and anxiety-related disorders, such as agoraphobia. *Neurological disorders. Diseases such as Parkinson s disease and multiple sclerosis may cause lightheadedness. *Meniere s disease: This disease involves the buildup of fluid levels in the inner ear. The ear may feel blocked. It can be associated with hearing loss and ringing in the ears. Meniere s disease is most common in people in their 40s and 50s. *Labyrinthitis: Caused by a viral infection. This condition can result in vertigo, plus sudden hearing loss. *Migraine: Some migraines can be accompanied by vertigo, as well as sensitivity to light and noise.This doesn t sound like the cause of your symptoms either. So, I suggest that while you take the precautions I listed initially to be safe, ultimately I recommend you seek the CAUSE of the dizzy spells so the treatment is tailored to the diagnosis.
