10 Norovirus Symptoms
Symptom #9: Dizziness
Dizziness is impairment of someone’s stability and spatial perception. The term is often used loosely and can refer to disequilibrium, vertigo, or presyncope. It is a nonspecific symptom that can occur because of cardiovascular issues, disorders of the inner ear, side effects of medication, motion sickness, multiple sclerosis, pregnancy, panic disorder, anxiety, depression, or inadequate blood supply to the brain.
In norovirus infections, the patient can experience dehydration from diarrhea, vomiting, and decreased oral intake of fluids, which can lead to low blood pressure that can then cause dizziness.
