Side Effect #3: Dizziness
Dizziness refers to the impairment of stability and spatial perception. It is a term that can be used to describe disequilibrium, vertigo, and presyncope.
Disequilibrium describes the feeling where one is unbalanced. Vertigo occurs when there is a sensation of spinning surroundings. Presyncope can be associated with muscular weakness and feeling faint. Some antihistamines such as diphenhydramine and dimenhydrinate may be beneficial in the management of dizziness. However, dizziness is also an uncommon side effect of antihistamines.
