A dizziness is a faint . It is the consequence of an indisposition that affects the sense of the person.

Dizziness is often used synonymously with fainting (a fainting with deprivation of consciousness). Lightheadedness or fainting can be caused by different types of disorders.

Sometimes lightheadedness is associated with syncope . The individual faints when the brain receives less blood than it needs, usually due to a drop in blood pressure or heart rate. A heart problem or stroke can cause this kind of light-headedness, as can minor ailments like hypotension caused by standing up too quickly.

Another possible reason for dizziness is vertigo , suffered by those who register a disturbance in their balance when they feel that their body or that which surrounds them is moving. An inflammation or infection in the ear can cause vertigo and lead to lightheadedness.

There are even medications that can make you dizzy and lightheaded. Even a panic attack that causes hyperventilation can cause lightheadedness.

The professional can perform an examination and order various studies to determine the reason for the dizziness and thus establish if there is any disease or other problem that is affecting health . In no case is it advisable for those who suffer from dizziness to try to discover the alleged reason or to self-medicate.
