3. Dehydration
Many problems that seem to have a severe underlying cause may be due to a preventable issue–dehydration. When the body is not given enough liquids, a number of things can result. A person who is dehydrated can suffer from headaches, nausea, dizziness, disorientation, and vertigo. It is important to get enough liquids, not just in the summertime when the heat increases sweat and encourages the loss of fluids from the body, but also in the winter, when indoor heating units can rob the body of moisture.
In severe cases of dehydration, a person may need to receive liquid infusions at a hospital, but usually, the problem can be treated at home with electrolyte mixtures you can buy at your local pharmacy. You may find that the vertigo does not disappear right away, but with consistent hydration, the dizziness will most likely disappear. The best way to prevent vertigo caused by dehydration is to make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
