ווען די וועלט ספּינז ... די פיר מערסט פּראָסט סיבות פון ווערטיגאָו

The turbulence in the head occurs at different times – sometimes as a result of getting up too quickly, sometimes with preceding symptoms (e.g. ringing in the ears), other times for no apparent reason. Feeling this ailment is also an individual matter. Some will feel like the world is spinning, while others will experience a sudden darkening in their eyes or a sense of lightheadedness. There can be many reasons for this, and excessive dizziness should be reported to a doctor immediately.

At the beginning, it should be noted that spinning in the head can be the result of quite mundane situations. They will appear when you breathe too fast and deeply, drink too much alcohol, have low blood glucose, or change your body position suddenly. Nevertheless, when you experience them quite often, or even though they occur rarely, but in sporadic, accidental situations in which they should not usually happen, it is better to report your problem to a specialist.

Reason #1: labyrinth

Sometimes the reason lies in problems with the labyrinth, i.e. the element responsible for maintaining the correct body posture. A symptom of labyrinth problems is nystagmus (involuntary movement of the eyes). You can also perform a small test by closing your eyes and touching the tip of your nose with your finger. The balance is disturbed if you have difficulty with this task.

Reason number 2: the spine

קאָפּווייטיק און קאָפּשווינדל These are some of the signals our spine sends us. Such complications appear even in young people, and dizziness is usually related to problems with the cervical spine. We usually overload it, e.g. by staying in a bent position for a long time (e.g. over a computer or a book) or sleeping in the wrong position. First, there is pain in the neck and surrounding areas, and over time in the morning and with certain movements, dizziness also joins. This is often accompanied by migraines, ringing in the ears, tingling in the fingers. Sometimes the problems are only temporary and pass quickly, but when they last too long and are serious, it is necessary to take an x-ray.

Reason number 3: blood circulation

It happens that the head spins when we suddenly change position. This is the so-called orthostatic hypotension, which occurs primarily in pregnant women and the elderly. It can also signal more serious problems with the circulatory system, i.e. poor blood oxygenation, heart or pressure problems. It also often occurs with atherosclerosis, because in its severe form, the brain does not receive enough oxygen, which results in turbulence, as well as with narrowed carotid arteries.

Reason number 4: the nervous system

In addition to the labyrinth, two important senses are responsible for the lack of “turbulence” in everyday life: touch and sight. This is why קאָפּשווינדל may be associated with damage to these elements or connections between them. They also appear with migraines, nerve compression, multiple sclerosis, tumors, epilepsy, or brain injuries, as well as after taking toxic substances and drugs. It also happens that the reason is the psyche – turmoil happens with depression, nervous disorders and fears. Then it is necessary to use appropriate psychotherapy.
