What could be causing the dizziness?

Dizziness can have various causes. Most causes are relatively harmless, but it is important to find out what is causing it. Common possibilities include low blood pressure, stress, anaemia, loose crystals, tiredness or blood sugar levels. Here you can read about other possible causes.

What are the warning signs of dizziness?

9 tips for dealing with dizziness

1. Stand up slowly

If you’ve been sitting or lying down, stand up slowly. Dizziness can occur when your blood pressure changes as you stand up. So take a moment to get used to your new position.

2. Drink plenty of water

Always drink plenty of water throughout the day. If the weather is hot or if you’ve been sweating a lot, it’s important to drink even more. Dehydration can also cause dizziness.

3. Eat something regularly

If you go without food for a long time, your blood sugar levels will drop. This can make you feel light-headed. You should therefore eat regularly and have a varied diet to maintain your energy levels.

4. Ensure you get enough rest and sleep

Fatigue and lack of sleep can cause dizziness. Maintain a good sleep routine and give your body enough time to recover after exercise or stress.

5. Reduce stress and tension

Stress, tension and a hectic lifestyle can trigger symptoms or even make them worse. So make sure you do plenty of relaxation exercises, pay close attention to your breathing and take regular breaks.

6. Move gently and be mindful of your posture

If you move your head suddenly or change your posture quickly, this can cause dizziness. You should therefore move as gently as possible and avoid movements that trigger the symptoms.

7. Maintain good balance

It may help to practise your balance if you suffer from certain balance problems. The right exercises for this depend on the cause of the symptoms. It is therefore best to contact a physiotherapist for advice.

8. Make a note of when you feel dizzy

If you are not yet entirely sure what the cause is, it is best to make a note of when you feel dizzy. This will help you identify patterns and work out what the triggers are. Once you know what is causing it, you can also tackle the root of the problem.

9. Use intranasal red light therapy

Intranasal red light therapy stimulates energy production in your body by recharging the mitochondria in your cells. In doing so, it supports processes that can help reduce or prevent dizziness.

How does intranasal red light therapy help if you’re feeling dizzy?

Intranasal red light therapy uses red light administered via the nose to stimulate the whole body. These are the benefits of this form of light therapy for dizziness:

  • Supporting energy production by stimulating the mitochondria.
  • Supporting the nervous system, which can help reduce tension and associated symptoms such as dizziness.
  • Supporting cellular processes to aid energy production.
