It senses movement and overcompensates, leading to a spinning sensation, weakness and faintness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many possible causes of dizziness including low blood pressure, anemia, dehydration, heat-related disorders, endocrine system disorders (e.g., diabetes, thyroid disease), heart conditions, high blood pressure, viral and bacterial infections, head trauma, hyperventilation, neurological disorders and certain medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several balance disorders are commonly associated with dizziness and\/or vertigo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) involves brief but intense periods of vertigo that are triggered by specific changes in head position. It occurs when tiny crystals in the otolith organs become dislodged and migrate to the semicircular canals. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Meniere\u2019s disease is a chronic condition that causes vertigo, tinnitus, fullness in the ear and fluctuating hearing loss that may eventually become permanent. Meniere\u2019s is usually confined to one ear and though its cause is unknown it may be the result of abnormal fluid buildup in the inner ear. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Labyrinthitis is an inflammation of the inner ear usually caused by an infection. Its symptoms include vertigo, temporary hearing loss and tinnitus. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/medicalhearingclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/ThinkstockPhotos-160566891-2048x1365.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-244\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medicalhearingclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/ThinkstockPhotos-160566891.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/medicalhearingclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/ThinkstockPhotos-160566891-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Other Symptoms Are Associated with Dizziness? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients who experience dizziness report a variety of symptoms depending on the exact nature of their balance disorder.
