dementia <\/a>or related conditions such as Alzheimer’s are often confused and disoriented as a part of their condition – but this isn’t the only way in which the condition can show itself, and dizziness is a common symptom that might also accompany the bouts of confusion, which makes it especially dangerous for people diagnosed with dementia or dementia-related conditions to live or travel on their own.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nDizziness can be a side-effect of medication taken to control the condition, but can also be characteristic of the condition itself.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whichever the case, it can lead to an increased rate of injury due to falls and similar injuries: Seek medical attention immediately in this case, and expert advice where injuries become too frequent to be due to standard falls: Carer abuse is an unfortunate truth for many dementia patients who are unable to voice that it happens (and an increased injury rate is one serious frequent sign).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
