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.
Lightheadedness-Feeling lightheaded now and again is pretty common. Usually it is not caused by a serious problem. What causes dizzy spells in the case of lightheadedness is often a drop in blood pressure and blood flow to the head from standing up too quickly after lying down or sitting. This is called orthostatic hypotension. There are many other causes of dizzy spells of this type, such as: 1  Allergies. 2  Illnesses (flue, colds, anything that causes congestion of the sinuses and ears). 3  Vomiting, fevers, diarrhea, and any other illness that causes dehydration. 4  Rapid or very deep breathing (hyperventilation).
