Dizziness ?
Dizziness is a common symptom that can indicate issues with the heart, blood pressure, or circulation. It may feel like lightheadedness, unsteadiness, or a spinning sensation (vertigo). While occasional dizziness can result from dehydration, stress, or sudden position changes, frequent or severe dizziness may signal a heart problem that requires medical attention.
Heart-Related Causes of Dizziness
Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension): Reduced blood flow to the brain can cause lightheadedness.
Arrhythmias (Irregular Heartbeats): Abnormal heart rhythms can limit blood circulation, leading to dizziness or fainting.
Heart Failure: A weakened heart struggles to pump blood efficiently, causing fatigue and dizziness.
Heart Attack: Reduced blood supply to the brain and body can trigger sudden dizziness.
When to Seek Immediate Help
Seek urgent medical care if dizziness is accompanied by:
Chest pain or pressure
Shortness of breath
Fainting or near-fainting
Severe headache or visual disturbances
Irregular heartbeat
