Dizziness includes feeling lightheaded, woozy, or unbalanced. It affects the sensory organs, especially the eyes and ears, so it can occasionally cause fainting. Dizziness isn’t a disease; it is a symptom of various disorders. Occasional dizziness is nothing serious. However, you should call your doctor immediately if you’re experiencing repeated episodes of dizziness for no apparent reason or a prolonged period.
People experiencing dizziness may feel these sensations: • feeling faint or lightheaded • an unrealistic sense of spinning • unsteadiness • loss of balance • feeling like you are floating or swimming
