Vertigo is a big culprit in the causes of dizziness and lightheadedness, which can be a result of inflammation of the inner ear or a symptom of a disease that involves excessive fluid buildup in the inner ear. Many prescription medications have dizziness and lightheadedness as a side effect. While there are many possibilities, the more common causes of dizziness and lightheadedness are sudden dramatic drops in blood pressure, low iron levels, low blood sugar and dehydration.
Common causes of dizziness include a migraine, medications, and alcohol. It can also be caused by a problem in the inner ear, where balance is regulated. Dizziness is often a result of vertigo as well. The most common cause of vertigo and vertigo-related dizziness is benign positional vertigo (BPV). This causes short-term dizziness when someone changes positions quickly, such as sitting up in bed after lying down. Dizziness and vertigo can also be triggered by Meniereâs disease. This causes fluid to build up in the ear with associated ear fullness, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Another possible cause for dizziness and vertigo is an acoustic neuroma.
