What Causes Dizziness?

It is not totally obvious what causes equilibrium problems and lightheadedness in fibromyalgia. There are trigger points in the neck and jaw that can cause a feeling of faintness and unevenness. It happens because they affect the nerves that tell the brain where the body is in space. If these signals do not match with the signals from the eyes, this could cause lightheadedness and bewilderment.

People with fibromyalgia frequently have troubles maintaining blood pressure. Decrease in blood pressure (hypotension) causes light-headedness and feelings of vertigo. Hypotension is divided into diverse classifications according to when your blood pressure drops:

Orthostatic hypotension is the drop in blood pressure that occurs when you change from sitting or lying down to standing. Orthostatic hypotension can make you feel wobbly or woozy, and maybe even faded.

 –> One form of orthostatic intolerance is POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). It is explained as inability to a change of body place, from lying down to stand on two legs. There is a remarkable increase in heart rate together with an irregular fall in blood pressure. POTS originate from insufficient blood circulation that decreases the quantity of blood getting back to the heart when increasing.

 –> Neural mediated hypotension is a blood pressure anomaly brought on by a nervous system reflex. It can occur after exercise, a period of standing (or even just sitting upright), when exposed to a hot environment or a psychologically traumatic event. Neural mediated hypotension can cause symptoms such as chronic fatigue, faintness, intermittent fainting, vomiting, inability to exercise and cognitive dysfunction.

 –> Postprandial hypotension is the drop of blood pressure happening straightforwardly after eating. It is more liable to occur in people who have high blood pressure or disorders that affects the brain centers controlling the autonomic nervous system (heart rate, absorption, respiratory rate). Symptoms include dizziness, dizziness, vertigo, and falls.

Other causes of faintness are: a disease like a cold or the flu, hypersensitivity, low blood sugar, hyperventilation, nervousness, horror attacks and anemia.
