Treatment in this case should be comprehensive. First of all, in order to get rid of unpleasant symptoms, the root cause of these ailments should be overcome.
Physiological factors

In addition, weakness appears, nausea, dizziness as a result of false perception, in which the human brain perceives everything that happens around itself in a slightly different way, not like everything really happens. The physiological causes of nausea and vertigo are as follows:
- Inadequate nutrition. This can lead to insufficient blood sugar, resulting in weakness, dizziness and nausea. It also provokes a weakening of the patient’s immunity.

Associated symptoms
In addition to the fact that the patient is dizzy and sick, there are other symptoms that will depend on concomitant diseases. For example, such pathologies can be:
- Violation of the vestibular apparatus. It is localized in the area of the inner ear, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, dizziness, increased sweating, deviations from the norm of blood pressure, rapid pulse. Symptoms and severity in this situation will depend on the position of the patient's body.
- Otitis. This disease is accompanied by severe soreness, which are localized in the ear zone.
- Migraine. The disease is a dangerous abnormality leading to serious impairment of the patient’s general well-being. At the same time, a person is afraid of sounds, light, noise, while soreness and degree of nausea are the most powerful. In such a situation, self-treatment is strictly contraindicated.
- Poisoning with alcohol and food. In this case, the patient has no appetite, is sick, dizzy. Weakness is also accompanied by vomiting.
- With existing problems with vision in a person, coordination is disturbed, as well as the sensitivity of the eyes, which is the cause of vertigo.
- If the patient has unilateral deafness, then he develops weakness, is dizzy, nauseous and headache. Such a violation may be a concomitant symptom of any neoplasm localized in the area of the brain.
How to treat
If for a long time weakness appears, dizzy and nauseous, what should I do? In this case, it is imperative to consult a psychotherapist or neuropathologist, and then proceed to treatment, because many diseases and pathologies can provoke irreversible consequences. In therapy, not only medications are used, but also various alternative recipes.
If this condition arose suddenly, then you should not worry about this and take any medications right away. In some cases, you just need to calm down, take a bath, drink herbal tea in order to normalize general well-being.
Dizziness as a symptom of a disease
Quite often dizziness and headache are a concomitant symptom of some kind of illness. When such signs appear, it is necessary to immediately begin therapy. The most common diseases that are accompanied by dizziness and headache are the following:
- epilepsy;
- neck osteochondrosis;
- neoplasms that are localized in the region of the brain;
- rheumatism;
- diseases and injuries in the area of the inner ear and vestibular apparatus;
- Meniere's disease;
- hepatitis of various shapes and genotypes;
- ischemic attack, stroke;
- depression;
- high blood pressure;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system;
- orthostatic collapse.
What to do
Diagnosis of such diseases includes not only oral questioning and examination of the patient, but also dopplerography of the vessels of the head and neck, MRI, CT, biochemical analysis of blood, ultrasound, sometimes even an x-ray is needed. Therapy will also depend on the degree of the disease, the patient’s age, general well-being, and lifestyle.
Signs and symptoms of a stroke
A stroke is a disease that is associated with impaired blood flow to the brain. With this pathology, a person has neurological symptoms, in which weakness appears, floats in the eyes, is dizzy, nauseous. If you do not pay attention to these symptoms and signs in time, then a stroke can provoke serious consequences, sometimes it can even lead to death. It is customary to separate 2 varieties of stroke:
- Hemorrhagic. This form of the disease is transient in nature. The headache sharply increases, localized only on one side of the head. After this, a person often loses consciousness, and the skin on his face turns red, convulsions are noted, respiratory function is impaired. When the attack passes, and the person returns to normal, his limbs fail on the side where the lesion was observed.
- Ischemic. Signs of this form of the disease occur gradually, due to which the patient does not immediately pay attention to the symptoms. At the initial stage of the development of the disease, there are no pain and discomfort. But over time, numbness begins on the face, upper limbs, changes in visual and speech function are observed, severe headache, nausea, vertigo and vomiting are felt.
You should also pay attention to those symptoms that occur in a person with any form of stroke. Such symptoms include inelasticity and stiffness of the occipital muscles.
What to do
If the limbs go numb, vision and speech are disturbed, weakness appears, dizzy and sick, what should I do? If symptoms of a stroke occur, call a specialist immediately. The sooner the patient is assisted, the more likely it is to exclude the death of neurons that are in the brain and can lead to death.
The most common causes of dizziness
If weakness appears, dizzy and nauseous, the reasons may lie in the following:
- insomnia;
- overwork;
- disturbed mode of rest and sleep.
Non-dangerous causes of the appearance of a similar symptom are also identified. If weakness appeared, dizziness, nausea, floats in the eyes, then this can happen for the following reasons:
- smoking;
- stress in which adrenaline was triggered into the bloodstream;
- long-term strict diet;
- sun or heat stroke;
- physical exercises and loads;
- a sharp change in the position of your body;
- period of pregnancy, especially in the first trimester;
- the use of certain medications;
- high blood sugar and hemoglobin;
- a sharp decrease in blood pressure.

When the unpleasant symptom is eliminated, you need to reconsider your diet and lifestyle, and you should also pay attention to the mode of work and rest. If necessary, an adjustment should be made.
Taking medications and bad habits
If there is weakness, diarrhea, dizziness and nausea, then this can be observed due to the use of certain medications. Therefore, before taking medications, it is necessary not only to consult a doctor, but also carefully study the instructions, which indicate all the side effects of a particular drug. If the stomach is very sore, dizzy, sick, weakness does not go away, then you should abandon this drug or reduce the dosage, which is adjusted by the doctor. Similar symptoms may occur due to the use of the following medications:
- antiallergic drugs;
- sleeping pills;
- tranquilizers;
- oral contraceptives.
You should also pay attention to the fact that dizziness and nausea can occur due to tobacco smoking or the use of alcohol-containing drinks. These habits negatively affect only the state of the heart and blood vessels, but also on the work of the brain, as well as the whole organism.
Brain pathology
How does it manifest? If dizziness appeared on only one side, then in most cases this occurs due to the progression of neoplasms that are localized in the brain. The pathology and diseases of this site can be accompanied by other pronounced symptoms, with which the specialist makes an accurate diagnosis and prescribes effective treatment.
Pre-syncope and syncope are observed in those people who have impaired blood supply to the brain. If the patient complains of dizziness, which is psychogenic in nature, this may indicate the development of neurosis, as well as a depressive state.
In case of imbalance in most cases, the patient has spinal cord damage in the cervical spine. This also leads to a breakdown in communication, which provides information to the brain about the position of the body. Such a deviation in most cases is diagnosed with osteochondrosis.
Damage to the nerve and vestibular apparatus
Why is the head sick and dizzy with damage to the nerve and vestibular apparatus? This is due to the fact that there is a violation of the connection between the inner ear and brain structures. This can provoke the following diseases:
- insufficient blood supply to the brain;
- Meniere's disease;
- neoplasm of the spinal cord;
- inflammation in the brain and in other areas;
- auditory nerve neuroma.
Dizziness associated with damage to the nerve and vestibular apparatus are divided into two main types:
- Central vertigo. This dizziness develops in people as a result of a stroke, or an existing tumor in the cerebellum or brain.
- Peripheral vertigo. This disease is observed with pathologies and damage to the inner ear.
