10 Causes of Dizziness
Cause #10: Meniere’s Disease
The cause of Meniere’s disease is not well understood, however it appears to be the result of abnormal amount of fluid in the inner ear. This is evident through autopsies but it is still unclear what causes the episodes. In most cases, only one ear is affected by Meniere’s disease. It causes episodes in which you feel dizzy and lose hearing progressively. Ultimately permanent hearing loss occurs.
Some factors that cause fluid to build up in the ear include improper fluid drainage due to anatomic abnormality, viral infections, allergies, head trauma and migraines. The disease can interrupt daily activity and result in fatigue, dizziness and ultimately stress.
