Dizziness is often understood as a condition in which there is a feeling of smooth movement of surrounding objects around oneself. Very often dizziness is accompanied by physical weakness, sometimes nausea, pallor
skin. An analysis of the origin of dizziness in different people revealed such proportions - in 80% of cases, dizziness is caused by any one cause, and in 20% of cases this symptom can be triggered by a combination of several causes.
Under normal circumstances, the signals coming into the central nervous system from the sense organs and the vestibular apparatus are transmitted to the muscular complex, which reacts according to the information received. The muscular system of a he althy person at the same time gives the body a stable position, concentration of the organs of vision. The body as a whole acquires an active tone, in which dizziness and weakness are absent.
There are three factors in the appearance of a symptom. The first is incorrect information transmitted to the central nervous system by the senses. The second is the distorted processing of information by the central nervous system itself. The third factor in which dizziness and weakness appear is the incorrect perception of information by the sense organs, and the muscular system of those impulses that were transmitted to them by the central nervous system.
According to the perception of sensations, a person often regards some states of his body, such as discomfort, a feeling of emptiness along with lightness in the head, imbalance during movement, as dizziness and weakness. This situation leads to the complication of diagnostic measures, the erroneous determination of the root causes of the ongoing changes, not to mention the timeliness of therapeutic measures.
In origin, dizziness and weakness are often caused by psychogenic factors. This is possible after strong emotional overload of the nervous system, fatigue, after long, monotonous work. In many cases, this condition is caused by prolonged depression, pumped up by anxious thoughts, panic ideas. With such underlying causes, the disease state disappears, it is enough just to eliminate the causing psychogenic factors.
The most dangerous are diseases associated with impaired brain activity that can cause dizziness and weakness. Such diseases include various tumors, displacement of the cerebellum, trauma to the skull. Moreover, the symptoms of diseases caused by a traumatic factor are obvious, which cannot be said abouthidden diseases such as tumors. Here, constant dizziness and weakness should alert, make a person turn to specialists.
One should not exclude the possibility of the appearance of signs of the disease under the influence of inflammatory processes in the central nervous system, diseases associated with insufficient blood supply caused by damage to the vascular system. Such diseases develop slowly and very often end in severe strokes. However, dizziness and weakness can be the first and most important symptoms on the way to making a correct diagnosis.
Weakness in the legs, dizziness, pallor of the skin, together with impaired visual perception, may be the result of pathological disorders of the eye muscles that can cause distortion of the image projection on the retina.
We should not exclude the possibility of damage to the vestibular apparatus of the ear, which may cause weakness, incoordination and dizziness.
