Excerpt:
Dizziness in women is not a disease itself but a signal of an imbalance in vital body systems, including blood circulation, inner ear function, hormonal balance, or mental state. While often temporary, it may indicate a condition requiring urgent medical evaluation.

Main causes:

• Inner ear disorders: Inflammation or fluid buildup in the vestibular system causes spinning sensations, as in Meniere’s disease or vestibular neuritis.

• Anemia and iron deficiency: Blood loss during menstruation reduces oxygen supply to the brain, causing dizziness and general weakness.

• Low blood pressure or blood sugar: Sudden standing or heavy physical exertion can trigger dizziness; low sugar is accompanied by sweating and trembling.

• Hormonal changes: Pregnancy or perimenopause alters blood pressure and fluid balance, leading to frequent dizziness.

• Stress and anxiety: Accelerated breathing lowers CO2 levels in the blood, creating temporary dizziness.

• Dehydration and fatigue: Lack of fluids disrupts the body’s electrical balance and lowers blood pressure, especially in hot weather or during exercise.

Signs requiring immediate medical attention:

• Persistent or frequently recurring dizziness.

• Severe headache, blurred vision, numbness, or limb weakness.

• Ringing in the ears or hearing loss.

• Fainting or difficulty speaking.

Safe coping strategies:

• Drink plenty of water and natural juices.

• Eat regular light meals to maintain blood sugar levels.

• Avoid sudden movements from sitting or lying down.

• Ensure sufficient sleep.

• Limit stimulants like coffee and smoking.

• Practice balance exercises or yoga.

• Relaxation sessions or psychological support in case of stress or anxiety.
