Being dizzy afflicts patients as an unsettling experience that may manifest as a spinning sensation or simply a sense of light-headedness in a near-faint state. That said, numerous causes are possible, including disturbances of the inner ear, which is the principal coordinator of information from the visual and vestibular (physical movement) senses for spatial perception; dehydration; medication side effects; other disease processes; and so forth. Should your dizziness be frequent or severe, then consultation with your medical practitioner to consider diagnosis and treatment is necessary. Dizziness can take its toll on one's lifestyle, and so finding out what is specifically wrong with you and how best to manage it is very important for your health and wellbeing.
