Due to diseases that appear against the background of such problems, people often experience dizziness in a dream. Various ailments of the throat, nose, ears, as well as inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract of various degrees can lead to this. Tuberculosis and rheumatic problems sometimes lead to dizziness. Lyme disease, transmitted through tick bites, can also cause dizziness.
Due to these diseases, dizziness may occur during the process of falling asleep, while some dream that they are dizzy. The question of why this happens should not be sought in the dream book, but at a doctor’s consultation. You need to diagnose the problem in time and quickly cure it.
Status Description
Dizziness is a condition during which a person does not determine the position of the body. There is a feeling that the floor is moving, the surrounding objects begin to spin, the body is too relaxed and nausea can occur. Next, we consider the symptoms, causes and treatment methods.
Symptomatology
Most often, such a phenomenon is felt in the morning, but also dizziness often occurs at night in a dream. Sometimes, as already mentioned, such a state is dreamed of. You need to see a doctor to understand why this happens.
If this is observed when falling asleep, when a person is in a horizontal position, then the following symptoms may appear:
- visual approximation of the ceiling and walls;
- all surrounding objects are floating;
- fear and anxiety arise;
- headache, especially when moving it;
- the appearance of dizziness in a dream and nausea.
This condition may resemble alcoholic intoxication. In this case, dizziness is especially felt when the head moves and turns over. Against the background of physiological reasons, such manifestations are considered the norm. These include riding a carousel, being at a high altitude, a sharp change in body position, and so on.
Causes of Dizziness
The reasons for sleep disturbance should be considered. Dizziness and nausea often occur with various health problems. These factors include the ailments associated with pressure. With hypertension and hypotension, the head may be very dizzy at bedtime. A similar condition is also provoked by vascular pathologies, for example, atherosclerosis. It is characterized by blockage of blood vessels by plaques. Because of this, the brain is poorly supplied with blood.
The causes can be otitis media and other diseases of the ears. Because of them, pus may appear, which presses on the eardrum. This leads not only to dizziness, but also to headaches. They can accompany a person even after removing the inflammation.
The causes of dizziness in a dream include TBI. If a person has a bruised head due to beatings and so on, then his brain structures are disturbed.
Diabetes mellitus can lead to vascular diseases, due to which blood circulates heavily. This leads to dizziness.
Meniere's disease is also associated with problems that affect the blood circulation system. A person may also have problems with the vestibular apparatus and hearing. In addition to dizziness, loss of balance and nausea may occur.
The next reason is associated with osteochondrosis, which affects the cervical spine. With such a disease, a person has dizziness in a dream when turning, fingers on his hands can also become numb.
Various neoplasms located in the skull provoke pain, visual deception and so on. This is due to the fact that the tumor presses on the brain.
If a person is on a diet or undernourished, then the described condition may occur. It is provoked by a lack of trace elements and vitamins in the body.
Heart disease also leads to circulatory disorders. These may be called arrhythmia or ischemic disease. Neurological diseases are also on this list. In such patients, in addition to dizziness in a dream, which can be caused by sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and so on, there is also a depressed state, excessive irritability and mental disorders.
The last factor should be called intoxication with harmful substances. Drugs, drugs, alcohol - they all poison the body, so they can cause dizziness and other symptoms.
Treatment
It should be understood that treatment must be carried out without fail. It is not required only when a person has a symptom of this kind arises due to physiological characteristics, which were discussed above. Some patients try to ignore this symptom, are treated with folk remedies, or they select medications for themselves. This approach is extremely dangerous, as complications may arise.
