What Makes People Feel Dizzy?
When people report feeling dizzy, it may mean several different things. Dizziness is a term that describes several broad types of symptoms:
- Vertigo - a false sensation of movement, especially of whirling, spinning, or being off-balance,
- Lightheadedness - sometimes referred to as presyncope (syncope means fainting), this is a feeling of being about to faint,
- Disequilibrium - this is a sensation of being unsteady or off-balance that is brought on by visual illusions or other dysfunctions in the visual system of the eyes and brain, and
- Psychological - dizziness a variety of symptoms brought on by anxiety or other psychological disorders, often described as a feeling of floating, rocking back and forth, or being removed from ones body.
All types of dizziness are a serious concern, as they can cause falls and other accidents. People who suddenly become dizzy while driving may lose control of their vehicle and cause a motor vehicle accident.
Besides the significant safety risk, dizziness has been associated with depressive symptoms, worsened self-reported health, and reduced overall well-being.
Does COVID-19 Cause People to Feel Dizzy?
The first two types of dizziness vertigo and lightheadedness have been associated with COVID-19 infection. The virus that causes COVID-19 (the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or SARS-CoV-2 virus) can bring on dizziness in a variety of ways, some of which are not yet fully understood. COVID-19 has hit humankind hard and fast, and still presents many unanswered questions to medical science.
People who are already prone to falls such as the elderly may be especially susceptible to suffer injury from dizziness. Unfortunately, this is the same population that is most susceptible to experience moderate to severe symptoms when infected with COVID-19.
Lets look at each of these two types of dizziness and how they are related to COVID-19.
Vertigo and COVID-19
Vertigo has recently been identified as a symptom of COVID-19. In fact, about 2% of people who become infected with SARS-CoV-2 will experience vertigo as their first symptom.
Vertigo is a disturbing and even dangerous symptom. Although vertigo itself is a sensation of spinning, swaying, and being off-balance, its usually also accompanied by nausea and vomiting, visual disturbances, and sweating. These accompanying symptoms may be severe. The dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and sweating usually appear suddenly as if out of nowhere and can cause people to fall from their feet, or lose the ability to control their vehicle if they're driving.
Bouts of vertigo can come and go, lasting anywhere from seconds to hours, or they can be constant, lasting days or weeks. Vertigo can be debilitating. People are often so off-balance that they cannot even stand or walk. Even laying in bed with vertigo is uncomfortable, as the world seems to be spinning around. They are often unable to read or even watch TV in many cases because of the whirling sensation and visual disturbances. As well, the nausea and vomiting can be severe, worsening the experience.
Vertigo can be caused by anything that affects the body's mechanisms for maintaining our sense of balance. COVID-19 can cause vertigo by disrupting the balance circuits in the brain and the inner ear.
Vertigo that is caused by disruption of the brains balance circuits is known as central vertigo, because it involves the brain, which is part of the central nervous system. The brain circuits involved in our sense of balance are primarily in the brainstem and cerebellum.
COVID-19, like many other viruses, is known to be neuro-invasive, which means that it is able to get into the brain and cause disease. The research literature has documented that about 36% of people with COVID-19 develop neurological symptoms from the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on the brain.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes COVID-19 has been found to cause brain swelling, partial brain cell degeneration, and brain inflammation (encephalitis). It seems to primarily do so through its activation of the immune system, which produces chemicals (cytokines) that can be toxic to the brain.
In addition to these mechanisms of injuring the brain, the virus can also cause a stroke. This can occur due to inadequate oxygen supply to the brain due to impaired lung function. As well, COVID-19 is known to cause an increase in blood clotting, which can result in blood clots travelling in the bloodstream and blocking the brains circulation. In these ways, COVID-19 makes infected patients susceptible to stroke, even if the virus doesn't make it to the brain.
If any of these mechanisms of injuring the brain occur in the areas responsible for the sense of balance, vertigo may occur. As well, when COVID-19 affects the brain, other symptoms may be present, such as headache, confusion, visual disturbances, and impaired sense of smell.
In addition to central vertigo caused by brain dysfunction vertigo can also be caused by inner ear problems; in which case it is known as peripheral vertigo. The inner ear contains the vestibular apparatus, which is an anatomical structure that senses whether or not we are moving or tilted. Anything that disturbs the vestibular apparatus can cause vertigo by fooling the brain into thinking that we are off-balance or moving.
COVID-19 can induce peripheral vertigo by causing inflammation of the vestibular nerve (vestibular neuritis), inflammation of the vestibular apparatus itself (labyrinthitis), or by causing inflammation of the nearby middle ear (otitis media).
The specific nature of the vertigo symptoms such as how long the bouts of vertigo last, whether or not the vertigo is continuous, and the severity of the vertigo depend upon which part of the balance system is affected. For example, central vertigo may produce different symptoms than will labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis. This helps doctors and physical therapists assess where the cause of the dizziness is and how best to treat it.
Lightheadedness and COVID-19
As with vertigo, people who experience lightheadedness the feeling of being about to faint often describe the symptom as dizziness or being dizzy.
Lightheadedness is caused by an inadequate oxygen supply to the brain. It usually resolves rapidly as soon as the brain gets enough oxygen again, but fainting, coma, and even death may occur if adequate oxygen supply is not promptly restored.
Inadequate oxygen intake and circulation is a common manifestation of severe COVID-19. People with severe cases of COVID-19 may require a breathing life support system (intubation and ventilation) in an ICU until they recover from the infection.
COVID-19 can cause lightheadedness in several ways:
- Inadequate lung function - COVID-19 causes pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs), which can cause serious impairment of lung function. As well, COVID-19 can cause the part of the brain that controls breathing to malfunction, so that the body stops trying to breathe,
- Heart Problems- even if the lungs and breathing are working properly, inadequate circulation due to heart problems can result in inadequate oxygenated blood getting to the brain. COVID-19 has been associated with several heart problems that can significantly affect circulation:
- Heart attack or angina (myocardial ischemia),
- Inflammation of the heart (myocarditis), and
- Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia),
- Blood clots - COVID-19 is known to cause excessive clotting of the blood (hypercoagulability). This can result in blood clots that travel in the bloodstream (thromboembolism) and cause injury to the lungs, heart, or brain, and
- Low blood pressure (hypotension) - COVID-19 has been associated with sudden, extreme drops in blood pressure that can cause impaired circulation and oxygenation of vital body tissues, including the brain.
Lightheadedness (presyncope) and/or fainting (syncope) have been reported to occur in about 3% of COVID-19 cases. Most cases are older people (the average age in one study was 69), and those with other health problems, especially heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
COVID-19 Dizziness and Vertigo
Of the two types of dizziness symptoms associated with COVID-19 vertigo and lightheadedness vertigo is generally the most problematic and severe. Lightheadedness is usually transient and resolves as soon as oxygen supply is restored; often even lying down and elevating the feet (the Trendelenburg position) is all that's required.
Vertigo, however, tends to be much longer lasting, and difficult to treat. Unlike lightheadedness, the cause of vertigo dizziness is often difficult to discover, and difficult to treat. At this point, its unclear how long dizziness symptoms will continue in people who develop COID-19-associated vertigo, simply because we don't have enough long-term data available. Some causes of vertigo are associated with chronic dizziness, but we do not yet know if this occurs with COVID-19.
Treating Vertigo Dizziness
Unfortunately, dizziness from vertigo is difficult to treat, and there are no medications that very effective at relieving the horrible dizziness. Medications are used to try to reduce swelling in the inner ear or brain (such as steroids, diuretics, and antihistamines), and to treat nausea. Unfortunately, many of these medications are very sedating, and do not provide much relief from the dizziness.
Hopefully, treating the COVID-19 and allowing the body to heal from the effects of the virus will likely result in the resolution of the vertigo, but we don't yet know for sure what to expect.
A type of physical therapy known as vestibular rehabilitation offers a non-medication approach to relieving dizziness from vertigo. Some cases of dizziness from vertigo may not get better unless the individual is treated with specific exercises and physical therapy for their dizziness and balance.
Physical therapists are trained to assess each patients dizzy symptoms in order to customize the optimal treatment approach for that individuals specific type of vertigo. This is important because different types of vertigo respond to different types of treatment. This is why expertise in treating vertigo is important when selecting a physical therapist.
Vestibular rehabilitation exercises may include walking exercises, head and eye exercises, and balance exercises. As well, physical therapists can provide education about the specifics of the dizziness, and important safety information.
With vestibular rehabilitation, physical therapists are able to achieve several specific goals for improving vertigo dizziness and stabilizing balance and gait. This involves using several therapeutic principles that are well known to improve postural control and balance:
- Adaptation - this involves training individuals with the symptoms of dizziness to overcome the false perception of movement due to errant signals from the inner ears to the eyes to the brain, spine, and feet.
- Habituation - this is where physical therapists introduce repetitive movements that are designed to get the brain used to moving properly despite the vertigo. With repetition, the brain gets used to (habituates to) the vertigo and begins ignoring the false signals from the balance system, and
- Sensory substitution - this involves strengthening other senses, specifically vision and sense of touch (proprioception), in order to compensate for the impaired sense of balance.
A recently published systematic review of the research literature has shown that exercise-based vestibular rehabilitation provides significant improvements in vertigo symptoms, balance, and the emotional effects of dealing with dizziness, as well as reducing the risk of falls from dizziness.

Why Having a Healthcare Advocate Can Make a Difference
Why Having a Healthcare Advocate Can Make a Difference in Your Medical Journey. Navigating the healthcare system can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with a new diagnosis, managing a chronic condition, or making important decisions about medical treatment. Between scheduling appointments, understanding medical terminology, communicating with multiple healthcare providers, and keeping track of treatment plans, patients and their families can quickly become frustrated or confused. This is where a healthcare advocate can make a meaningful difference. A healthcare advocate serves as a knowledgeable support person who helps patients navigate the healthcare system, understand their medical options, communicate with healthcare professionals, and make informed decisions about their care. Whether someone is facing a serious diagnosis, preparing for surgery, managing a long-term illness, or simply trying to understand their treatment options, having an advocate can provide valuable guidance and reassurance throughout the medical journey. What Is a Healthcare Advocate? A healthcare advocate is someone who helps patients understand and navigate the often-complicated healthcare system. Their role is to support patients by helping them access information, communicate with medical professionals, coordinate care, and better understand their healthcare choices. Healthcare advocates may assist with a variety of needs, including: Helping patients understand medical diagnoses and treatment recommendations. Preparing questions for upcoming doctor appointments. Helping patients communicate concerns and symptoms to healthcare providers. Coordinating appointments with multiple specialists. Reviewing treatment options and helping patients understand the information provided by their medical team. Helping patients obtain and organize medical records. Supporting patients who are considering a second medical opinion. Helping families understand available healthcare resources and services. A healthcare advocate does not replace a physician or make medical decisions for the patient. Instead, they help patients become more informed, confident, and involved in their own healthcare decisions. Understanding Your Diagnosis and Treatment Options Receiving a medical diagnosis can be an emotional and confusing experience. Patients may leave a doctor's appointment with more questions than answers, especially when they are unfamiliar with medical terminology or are trying to process unexpected news. A healthcare advocate can help patients better understand the information they receive from their healthcare providers. For example, after receiving a diagnosis of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or another serious medical condition, a patient may need to understand several aspects of their care, including treatment options, potential side effects, follow-up appointments, and lifestyle changes. An advocate can help organize this information, identify questions that need clarification, and encourage patients to discuss their concerns directly with their physicians. Having someone help explain complicated healthcare information can make it easier for patients and families to understand their situation and feel more prepared for the decisions ahead. Improving Communication Between Patients and Doctors Good communication between patients and healthcare providers is essential for effective healthcare. However, patients sometimes feel intimidated, rushed, or unsure about how to express their concerns during medical appointments. They may forget important questions, struggle to describe their symptoms, or leave without fully understanding their physician's recommendations. A healthcare advocate can help bridge this communication gap. Before an appointment, an advocate may help patients prepare a list of questions, organize medical information, and identify concerns they want to discuss. During an appointment, when authorized and welcomed by the patient and provider, an advocate may attend to help take notes, ask questions, and make sure important information is understood. After the appointment, an advocate can help patients review their notes, understand the next steps, and identify any follow-up questions. This additional support can be particularly helpful for older adults, individuals managing complex medical conditions, and patients who feel overwhelmed by the amount of information they receive. Coordinating Care Among Multiple Healthcare Providers Many patients receive care from several different healthcare professionals. Someone managing a chronic illness, for example, may see a primary care physician, cardiologist, neurologist, endocrinologist, or other specialists. Although each provider plays an important role, coordinating appointments, medical records, treatment recommendations, and follow-up instructions can become challenging. A healthcare advocate can help patients stay organized and navigate these different aspects of their care. Care coordination may include: Helping schedule appointments with specialists. Keeping track of upcoming medical visits and follow-up care. Organizing medical records and test results. Helping patients communicate information between healthcare providers. Identifying questions about conflicting or unclear treatment recommendations. Helping patients understand referrals and recommended next steps. When patients have multiple medical providers, having someone help organize their healthcare information can make the process less stressful and help reduce the likelihood of important details being overlooked. Helping Patients Make Informed Healthcare Decisions Medical decisions can have a significant impact on a person's health, independence, finances, and quality of life. Patients may be asked to consider medications, surgical procedures, treatment plans, rehabilitation services, or other medical interventions. Making these decisions can be difficult, particularly when patients are facing unfamiliar medical conditions or complicated treatment choices. A healthcare advocate helps patients understand the information available so they can have more productive conversations with their medical providers. An advocate may help patients: Understand the purpose of recommended treatments. Prepare questions about potential risks and benefits. Discuss alternative treatment approaches with their physicians. Understand what to expect during recovery. Explore whether a second medical opinion may be appropriate. Consider how different treatment options may affect daily life and personal goals. The goal is not to tell patients which treatment to choose. Instead, it is to make sure they have the information and support needed to participate in decisions about their healthcare. Ultimately, medical decisions should reflect the patient's needs, values, preferences, and conversations with qualified healthcare professionals. The Importance of a Second Medical Opinion When facing a serious or complicated diagnosis, patients may benefit from seeking a second medical opinion. Getting another professional perspective can help confirm a diagnosis, provide additional information about treatment options, or identify alternative approaches. However, knowing when and how to seek another opinion can be confusing. A healthcare advocate can help patients understand the process and prepare for a second opinion appointment. This may involve organizing medical records, collecting test results, identifying specialists, and preparing questions about the diagnosis and recommended treatment. Having additional information can help patients feel more confident about the decisions they make and better understand the options available to them. Seeking a second opinion does not mean a patient distrusts their current physician. It is simply another way to become informed and make thoughtful decisions about their health. Providing Support for Family Members and Caregivers A serious medical condition affects more than just the individual receiving care. Family members and caregivers often become involved in managing appointments, understanding treatment recommendations, communicating with physicians, and providing emotional support. These responsibilities can become overwhelming, especially when family members are balancing caregiving with their own personal and professional obligations. A healthcare advocate can help ease some of this burden by providing guidance and organizational support. With the patient's permission, an advocate can help family members understand the care plan, keep track of upcoming appointments, organize medical information, and identify questions that need to be addressed. This support can be particularly valuable when adult children are helping aging parents navigate healthcare decisions or when families live in different locations. Having an additional knowledgeable person involved can help families feel more supported while keeping the patient's preferences and needs at the center of care. When Should You Consider Hiring a Healthcare Advocate? There is no single time when everyone needs a healthcare advocate. Some people benefit from assistance during a major medical event, while others appreciate having ongoing support as they manage complicated healthcare needs. You may want to consider working with a healthcare advocate if: You have recently received a serious or unexpected medical diagnosis. You are managing multiple chronic health conditions. You have difficulty understanding medical terminology or treatment recommendations. You see several specialists and need help coordinating your care. You are preparing for surgery or a complicated medical procedure. You want assistance obtaining a second medical opinion. You feel rushed or uncomfortable during medical appointments. You are helping an aging parent or loved one navigate the healthcare system. You want someone to help organize medical records, appointments, and treatment information. Even patients who are generally comfortable managing their healthcare may benefit from having an advocate during particularly complicated or stressful medical situations. How to Choose the Right Healthcare Advocate Choosing a healthcare advocate is an important decision. You want someone who understands the healthcare system, communicates effectively, respects your preferences, and has your best interests in mind. When considering an advocate, look for someone who: Has experience navigating healthcare systems and working with patients. Communicates clearly and listens carefully to your concerns. Understands the importance of patient choice and confidentiality. Can help organize medical information and coordinate care. Is willing to explain complicated information in an understandable way. Respects your relationship with your physicians and other healthcare providers. Provides personalized guidance based on your individual needs. It is also important to understand what services are included, how the advocate works with healthcare providers, and whether services are available in person, remotely, or both. A good healthcare advocate should help you feel informed, respected, and empowered rather than pressured into making decisions. Take an Active Role in Your Healthcare Journey Your health is one of your most valuable assets, and you deserve to feel informed and supported when making decisions about your medical care. Unfortunately, navigating the healthcare system is not always easy. Complicated diagnoses, multiple specialists, confusing medical information, and difficult treatment decisions can leave patients feeling uncertain about what to do next. A healthcare advocate can help make the process more manageable by providing guidance, improving communication, organizing healthcare information, and helping patients understand their options. Most importantly, having an advocate can help patients become more confident participants in their own healthcare journey. You do not have to navigate complicated medical situations alone. With the right support, you can ask better questions, understand your choices, and work more effectively with your healthcare team. If you or someone you love is feeling overwhelmed by the healthcare system, consider reaching out to Vital Voice Healthcare Navigation. Having a knowledgeable advocate by your side can make a meaningful difference in understanding your care and moving forward with greater confidence.
How to Organize After the Holidays
Hey there! Do you already have your holiday decorations put away, or will your Christmas tree be up until February? To be honest, I can be either person, depending on the year. This year, Ive been a little slow to pack up my garlands and lights, but thats ok. Organization doesnt mean being perfect all the time.The holiday season can bring fun and joy, but it can also bring chaos to the systems in your home. Theres a proliferation of stuff -- cards, packages, gifts of all kinds, decorations, wrapping paper, social engagements, emotions. After all the partying is over, we can be left with a feeling of overwhelm. As a professional organizer, here are my tips for how to handle all of the stuff that came into your house over the holidays and bring (a little more) peace to your home and heart: Decide what to keepThis is really the first (and most critical) thing to do as soon as youre ready to move on from the holidays. Take a look at everything that came into your house during the season and keep only what you truly want to have. I dont recommend keeping anything you dont love, need, or want, even if it was a gift (more on that below). If you shove that ugly sweater in a closet, forget about it, and discover it two years later, youll still have to make the same decisions about what to do with it. Decide what to do as soon as you can. Find a home for everything youre keeping (and put it there right away). If you are keeping a newer/different version of something you already own (for example, you got a nicer coffee maker for Christmas), consider donating or discarding your old item. In other words, follow the one-in, one-out rule if its appropriate.Let go of unwanted gifts Something I hear all of the time from clients is I dont really like this, but it was a gift and I feel guilty about giving it away.I know that gifts can be tricky. I think honoring the intention of the gift given to us is actually more important than holding onto the actual physical object. Usually, someone gives you a gift to show you that they care about you or because they hope youll enjoy it, not because they expect you to become the permanent caretaker of that object. (And if someone gives you a gift receipt, they dont mind if you return it dont feel guilty!)So how do I handle gifts I dont love? I go out of my way to thank the giver in a way thats sincere. I dont tell someone I loved a particular gift if I didnt, but I do thank them for thinking of me and for their generosity. If I dont want or cant use a gift, I pass it on to someone who can enjoy it more than me. That may mean donating it to a charity, giving it away through my local Buy Nothing group, or regifting to someone who I know would appreciate it. Sort the trash and recyclingYou probably ended up with lots of boxes after Black Friday. Go through any extra packaging and recycle, throw away, or give away what you cant use immediately. My clients often have a ton of empty boxes they are saving for someday, but those boxes can take up a lot of space (and its likely that more will come into your home soon). Getting them out is one of the easiest ways you can make your home feel less cluttered immediately. If you have boxes in good condition, you can post them on your local Buy Nothing or neighborhood social media group for someone who is moving. Take another look at your holiday cardsBefore you shove them into a box, look at each card individually. Is this specific card something that will be meaningful to you in a year? 10 years? If its not, appreciate the person who sent it to you and recycle the card. If it truly is a keepsake, save it in an album or memory box. Evaluate your holiday decorMany of my clients struggle with accumulating and storing holiday decor. I recommend thinking about any decor you didnt put out this year will you put it out next year, or are you over it? Do you have more than you can use? Set aside anything you no longer love or want to donate next fall before the holidays (generally, thrift shops do not have space to store out-of-season items for long periods of time). And make sure to carefully store the items you do love and so you can enjoy them next year
