Why You Have Dizzy/Vertigo Spells
and How to Prevent Vertigo and Dizziness?
You’ve
experienced this: standing up from a chair or a bed, all of a sudden everything
becomes foggy, and the room even begins to spin.
This
is called vertigo
and is the most frequent health complaint of people over 65 and the most common
cause of falling
and broken bones.
But
why does this happen and how can you prevent vertigo
and dizziness?
There are two major causes
of vertigo:
1) Not enough blood flow to the brain
2) Miscommunication between the balance receptors in the eyes and ears
And
as you’ll learn in a second, there is often the same underlying cause for both
of these.
Your
body is an amazing machine. Blood delivery throughout the body is calculated
and monitored in fractions of a second, millions of times per day.
When
sitting or lying down, your brain considers you in a relaxed state and lowers
your blood pressure. It doesn’t need the same pressure to deliver blood to the
brain as when you’re in action.
But
as you stand up, a quick signal is sent to increase blood pressure and blood
delivery to the brain.
When
we get older, these reflexes get slower. And since the message takes longer to
transit, for a few seconds, not enough blood is delivered to the brain.
The
brain deals with this by sending out a vertigo
response to slow your movements down. It figures, while you have vertigo,
you’re not going to be walking. As soon as the brain has caught up with enough
blood flow to match your movements, the vertigo
signal is reversed, and you feel fine.
Low blood pressure is a major cause of this kind of vertigo.
If you have low blood pressure, make sure you drink enough water and check if
you’re iron deficient.
High blood pressure also causes this kind of vertigo.
It thickens the arteries in the neck, which makes them less flexible.
Therefore, the transition from low blood flow (while sitting) and more blood
flow (standing up) is slower. When you manage to bring your blood pressure to a
healthy level, the arteries soften up again, and the transition will be
smoother.
Blood pressure medications (and other medications)
are also a common cause of vertigo.
Some cause dehydration, which leads to less blood flow to the brain. Other
times, medications force your blood pressure too low when it needs to be pumped
up (during exercises or standing up). Make sure that your doctor is not
over-medicating you if you suffer frequent vertigo.
High
and low blood pressure and many other things can cause tension in the muscles
that control your balance system in the ears, eyes, and neck.
This
tension blocks blood flow but it also causes miscommunication between different
balance sensors- another very common cause of vertigo.
To
prevent vertigo
and dizziness
permanently, you must loosen up the muscles around your balance sensors. This
increases blood flow to the head and creates a synchronicity between the
sensors.
I’ve
developed a set of simple exercises that do just that. Numerous readers have
successfully used these easy exercises to overcome vertigo
completely.
It’s so important to bring your blood pressure
to an optimal level. So, you want to learn more about the easiest way I know to manage blood pressure, even normalizing low BP naturally…
This post is from the
Vertigo and Dizziness Program, which was created by Christian Goodman. This is
an all-natural system that utilizes the power of exercises to permanently cure
your vertigo and dizziness. This will help to eliminate tension and improve
your blood flow and balance.
From this Vertigo
Relief Program, you will learn to strengthen your tongue, achieve whole-body
balance, relieve tension and enhance your overall well-being.
