There’s
hollowness in our feeling as we felt dizzy while riding in a transportation
vehicles, riding in the ferries wheel, looking down from tall building to the
ground. Why we can’t able to hold our feeling to restrain from falling? Why we
felt total black-out shadowing our vision, dark and full of fireflies?
It
was found that dizziness was the result of unusual changes disrupting the
normal feeling of stability. The firmness of our posture give in. We felt the lightheadedness inside us. We have
to hold on to something solid to prevent us from falling down.
Feeling
dizzy is a signal indicating disturbance in the structure of our human body by
altering the normal balance of movement. Every movements we did, every thought
we make were immediately coordinated to the brain. The brain reacted to the
nerve impulses from the ears, eyes, neck and limb muscles as well as the joints
of arms and legs. Any small failure of the normal function or if the brain
failed to coordinate the many nerve impulses it should receive but with
alteration, dizziness occurred. There was imbalance and unsteadiness in our
movement. We felt we are spinning in circle.
The
vestibular system controlled our sense of balance. Any physical movement we
make, rolling, jumping, running, turning, climbing, daily twisting and turning,
the system is always in the rescue to prevent as from falling and disorganize
in our every action. It controlled the obstruction, the harmony of our
movement, preventing any mishaps allowing the flow of movement executed based
on brain intention.
Dizziness
can be felt if the sensory information was distorted. Feeling motion sickness
is the result when the brain received conflicting sensory information to act
based on body’s motion, position and coordination. The symptoms of dizziness started
if there is lightheadedness, tightness of the chest, dizzying spell, nausea, sweating
and vomiting.
Some
of the known health conditions believed to be behind dizziness was recorded:
-bout
of anxiety and stress
-emotional
upset
-Ear
disorder (tinnitus)
-double
vision
-The
presence of tumor or cyst
-benign
positional vertigo
-acoustic
neuroma (tumor)
-transient
ischemic attack (TIA) in the brain stem or small stroke
-neurological
disorders (Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson disease
-low
blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension)
When
a person suffered stroke, there is lack of blood supply to the brain. There is
numbness in some parts of the body. There is tingling and weakness in the limbs
or one side of the face. There was temporary blindness. There was distortion in
his speech or speech difficulty or slurred speech.
A
simple dizziness has a cause. Physician can give the proper insight what lead
to dizziness by conducting series of tests. The specific kind of disease will
be known and proper treatment can be done.
