Symptom #10: Light-headedness and Dizziness
Light-headedness refers to the unpleasant sensation where one feels dizzy or faint. It can be a short, prolonged, or recurring issue. Patients describe dizziness or vertigo as their surroundings spinning around them. Light-headedness and dizziness are non-specific symptoms that can be seen when there is shortage of blood or oxygen, drop in blood pressure, dehydration, hypoglycemia, hyperventilation, panic attacks, and more.
Treatment will depend on the underlying cause and involves staying hydrated, eating to keep the blood glucose level up, avoiding bright lights, avoiding sudden changes in posture, and more.
