How to determine the cause of dizziness with darkness in the eyes and stuffiness of the ears

1 Concomitant symptoms of

Because it is unclear why the eyes have become dark and why the head is dizzy, first of all you should consult a therapist. He, after reviewing your tests, discards some options and directs the patient to a more narrow specialist who will determine your problem accurately.

But not in all cases with dizziness you need to immediately rush to the doctor. Sometimes dizziness occurs during normal motion sickness, which is not a symptom of the disease. For example, this applies to rides on rides, transport trips, etc.

In this case, dizziness( orthostatic hypotension) means that the vestibular apparatus has stopped working for a while in normal mode. But if the head became dizzy often and there seem to be no objective reasons for this, then this may indicate more serious problems.

The brain vessels do not cope with the supply of the required amount of blood, the brain lacks oxygen and other nutrients for normal functioning, and it thus signals the oxygen starvation. After all, a lot of processes of life support of the whole organism depend on it.

Dizziness is not a separate problem, it includes several symptoms:

1. The appearance of fog in front of the eyes or a drastic darkening. This is due to the lack of feeding of blood vessels in the eyeball or a sharp outflow of blood from the head.
2. Pressure drop in the vessels throughout the body.
3. Nausea. To digest food to the stomach, the maximum possible amount of blood is poured, so insufficient filling of the stomach vessels causes nausea.
4. Lays the ears. The eardrum also has a grid of tiniest blood vessels, which allows us to hear, and they require nutrition.
5. Headache. Insufficient nutrition of the brain is the worst thing that can happen, therefore the body sends the strongest signal - pain.
6. Extra servant condition.

Dizziness can occur in a variety of situations. It can last from a few seconds to several minutes. In some cases, a dizziness attack will be much longer.

The easiest option is when you get up from a horizontal position. If you do it abruptly, then for a few seconds the head will spin, it will darken in the eyes and will set the ears. For those unfamiliar to physical activity, a critical point can be physical exercise, which is carried out immediately after awakening. For example, the slopes or corners of the body.

Also dark in the eyes can from the most simple emotions. Any stress or even a little excitement can lead to dizziness. At such moments, a portion of adrenaline enters the bloodstream and the vessels automatically narrow, so blood circulation slows down, blood pressure drops sharply, and brain nutrition decreases.

2 Causes of dizziness

Causes dizziness for a variety of reasons. The most common of these are:

1. Adrenaline. The level of adrenaline in the blood greatly increases when a person experiences stress or sudden heavy loads. This includes a sharp rise from the bed, etc. For example, speaking to large crowds of people, explaining feelings, etc.
2. Height. If you have ears, it is possible that you spent a lot of time at the height. This causes a violation of self-awareness in space, and in some cases, the release of adrenaline( fear of heights).
3. Diets. The main nutrient for the body after oxygen is glucose. During the maintenance of the diet, the amount of glucose is greatly reduced, and it is not enough to supply all the processes in the body. Of course, a certain amount of nutrients is drawn from the fatty deposits( which is why the diet is started), but this is done very slowly and does not provide a constant supply of glucose in the required amount.
4. Charge and other physical exercises. If you are not physically trained, you can not rush into the whirlpool of training. Sharp movements and heavy loads will necessarily cause dizziness, darkening in the eyes and blocked ears. Therefore, you need to start with light short sessions and only then gradually increase the load.
5. Long view focusing. If you are long considering something at a very close distance, this will cause fatigue of the eye muscles and a lack of supply of the eyeball with blood. The voltage when looking at distant objects has a similar effect. It is necessary to do rest periods for the eyes.
6. Medication. Since medications very often cause a forced change in a particular situation, the body can resist this. For example, this effect is caused by strong tranquilizers, antiseptics and a number of antibiotics.

3 Various manifestations of

Diseases Relatively innocuous causes of dizziness appeared. But, if you feel dizzy, darkened in the eyes and laid down your ears, this may be a symptom of some kind of illness. Each of the diseases also has other symptoms. Consider the following diseases:

3. Otitis( inflammation of the middle ear).The first thing a patient observes is severe pain in the ears or one ear. Vertigo is only an additional symptom. Necessarily it is necessary to address to the otolaryngologist.
4. Various diseases of the inner ear. They provoke disturbances in the work of the vestibular apparatus. There are a long series of concomitant symptoms, for example, pressure jumps, nausea and vomiting, the appearance of cold sweat. Cervical osteochondrosis or osteoporosis. They complicate the flow of blood to the head, so when sharp movements, especially the head, dizziness begins.
5. Cancerous tumors. Pathological changes in the body cause all the symptoms of dizziness.
6. Craniocerebral trauma. It is only natural that a violation of the integrity of the cover and the proper passage of the necessary processes in the head causes darkness in the eyes and dizziness.
