A-Dizziness in children can have a number of different causes, ranging from a psychological disorder to a brain tumor. Don`t ever ignore dizziness in a child; it may indicate a serious underlying problem that needs treatment. You also should be aware of dizziness in a child who`s too young to have the vocabulary to describe the sensation he`s experiencing. A child may describe dizziness as a spinning feeling, or indicate that he`s feeling unsteady or light-headed. Watch, too, for other symptoms that may accompany dizziness.
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.
