[|Human|] what are the possible reasons to explain why I experienced dizziness and fell to the floor injuring myself because I was unable to stand up or maintain consciousnessf after getting out of the bathtub? Did I faint and/or lose consciousness? what should I do to prevent this from happening again?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. Moments of dizziness can happen due to decreased blood flow from heart to brain. When it happens, the blood flowing through the vessels from heart to brain might have a reduced flow. These are by the carotid and vertebral arteries on either sides. This is more significant when you are standing upright and doing any moderate to heavy physical activity. You might require a CT scan or MRI scan of the brain. The best way to analyze if the reduced blood flow to the brain is causing your dizziness is by doing a carotid and vertebral arteries Doppler ultrasound. It will show the flow of blood from the heart to the brain and if it is adequate. Clinical examination of inner ear and vestibular system in the ear is also required. It might help to do an Electronystagmography (ENG) or videonystagmography (VNG) done to record abnormal eye movements while the head is placed in different positions or your balance organs are stimulated with water or air. For this you might have to consult the ENT specialist. Dizziness can also occur due to stress related anxiety or overflow of emotions.
