What Causes Dizziness?
3. Infections
Infections of the inner ear are relatively common, and they can cause some very unpleasant symptoms. Pathogens can affect the workings of the inner and, in addition to symptoms like pain and nausea they can also cause the patient to feel very dizzy. This is particularly the case in vestibular neuritis, which when the vestibular nerve is infected by a virus.
Bacterial infections of the inner ear can also cause dizziness. Regardless of the pathogen involved, severe infections have the potential to cause permanent damage so they should be treated as soon as possible. The symptoms should hopefully clear up once the underlying cause has passed.
