Dizziness
Dizziness is commonly described as a feeling of light-headedness, unsteadiness and the feeling that you are about to faint. Dizziness is also commonly associated with the feeling that you
or your surroundings seem to rotate endlessly. Such type of dizziness is medically referred to as ‘vertigo’. Dizziness essentially shakes the balance of the individual. The sense of balance
depends on a variety of information processed by the brain after receiving inputs from eyes, inner ears and the nervous system. Loss of balance or feeling dizzy is experienced in the
event of signals sent to the brain not being processed due to contradiction in messages or mal- function in sensory systems. Dizziness is among the most common complaints after
backache to be experienced by a large majority of people especially older adults. There are various causes that lead to dizziness. Dizziness can be a single short experience or lead to
occasional or frequent spells. Though it is not a serious disorder it is important to diagnose the cause and eliminate the reason.
