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).
Our ability to remain upright depends on a complex system of nerves in our eyes, ears and brain, as well as muscles that help us walk and maintain balance. A disturbance in that delicate system can cause dizziness. When a child says he feels dizzy, he usually means he feels light-headed and unsteady. Itâs not uncommon for healthy children, especially teens, to feel dizzy occasionally-especially when they get up quickly after squatting or sitting.
