you suddenly feel dizzy when you have never before experienced dizziness. Otolaryngologists treat problems of the inner ear, head, nose, throat, and neck, such as dizziness. Dr. William Bond is your doctor of otolaryngology in Washington, D.C., for the diagnosis and treatment of dizziness.
Causes of Dizziness
The inner ear helps you maintain a sense of balance. Signals sent from the inner ear to the brain let your brain know about your body’s orientation or positioning at any given time, as well as whether you are still or in motion. The feeling of being dizzy occurs when the signal from the inner ear misfires or gets blocked before reaching the brain. Several factors and conditions can interfere with the inner ear’s ability to send signals to the brain and, subsequently, cause dizziness. Causes of dizziness include:
- Vertigo
- Anxiety
- Poor circulation
- Certain neurological diseases
Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness often accompanied by nausea and/or vomiting. Causes of vertigo include:
- Skull fractures
- Inner ear injuries
- Viral infections
- Migraines
- Meniere’s Disease
- Benign positional vertigo
