10 Vertigo Causes
Cause of Vertigo #5: Pregnancy
Pregnancy is known to cause vertigo attacks. During pregnancy, these attacks typically occur as a result of changes to the hormonal balance in the woman’s body, as well as changes to the balance of blood sugar.
If these levels are not kept in balance and instead drop significantly below their regular amount, a woman might experience vertigo. The problem can become more significant during the later stages of pregnancy, with movements as simple lying down.
This can occur because, as the baby grows, it may press against one of the veins that’s responsible for carrying blood to the heart. This problem very rarely persists beyond pregnancy and should not be cause for concern.
