10 Causes of Dizziness
Cause #3: Low Vitamin B12
Having a deficiency in vitamin B12 is easy to detect and treat, but can often be overlooked. Deficiencies lead to a number of neurological problems, including feeling off-balance and having low blood pressure. You may feel a wobbly feeling when getting up to fast from a seated position or when walking up or downstairs. Consider bringing chronic vertigo symptoms to your doctor’s attention and being checked for low vitamin B12 levels.
B12 supplementation can be given orally, which is very effective because it can be absorbed outside the ileum. The form of B12 is also a factor in proper absorption. Many people vary in which forms they respond to best, so it is possible to be taking a supplement but still be deficient.
