Sometimes, doctors find no specific cause, but dangerous causes always need to be excluded. With dizziness, you may be feeling faint, near passing out, weak, nauseated, confused, tired, clumsy, off balance, or any combination of these. Just about any symptom or group of symptoms may accompany dizziness. These depend on the ultimate cause. Standing up more slowly may help dizziness associated with position change.
Reassurance can help an anxious person who feels dizzy.
Make your home safe for a chronically dizzy person. Banisters, a walker or cane, and tub mats provide orientation. Secure rugs and carpeting to avoid falls. A doctor can recommend resources for a professional home-safety consultant visit. Dizziness may be the only symptom of a heart attack or stroke.
