If dizzy spells occur more frequently, this restricts the quality of life because those affected become unsure and may no longer have the confidence to ride their bike. In the worst case, this can lead to falls and injuries. However, those who stay at home out of fear of this and do little exercise exacerbate gait insecurity and balance problems.
There are many possible causes of dizziness
If you experience dizziness frequently, you should not put up with it but have the cause investigated by a doctor. ENT specialists are the first port of call. This is because our organ of balance is located in the ear. There are many types of dizziness. If it occurs when we turn over in bed, it is positional vertigo. If the floor seems to sway, it is vertigo due to swaying. If you have the feeling that the world around you is spinning, you are suffering from rotational vertigo.
What to do with vertigo?
Doctors can deduce the cause from the type of dizziness. These are often circulatory disorders or functional impairments of the nerves, inner ear and eyes. Heart disease, high blood pressure or a tumor can also be behind the dizziness. Sometimes medication or incorrectly adjusted glasses can also cause dizziness.
The dizziness often subsides for those affected if they train their balance. Appropriate courses are offered by rehabilitation centers, health insurance companies or physiotherapists, among others. If the dizziness is not due to a treatable cause, natural active ingredients can often help (for example in "Vertigoheel", available over the counter in pharmacies).
