Course of disease

The course of dizziness, nausea and headaches is strongly dependent on the underlying cause. Generally speaking, the symptoms are often the expression of an acute stress reaction and subside accordingly after a resting phase. If the cause is a chronic disease, such as high blood pressure, it can usually be treated well if detected early. Accordingly, the course of the disease is also then rather mild. Rarely do the symptoms point to serious and complicated diseases.

Dizziness, nausea, headaches during pregnancy- Is it dangerous?

During pregnancy, dizziness, nausea and headaches that occur together can have various causes. Again, these symptoms can be an expression of more harmless triggers, such as stress. Especially at the beginning of pregnancy, the occurrence of dizziness with accompanying headaches and nausea is not uncommon.

This is due to the change in the body’s circulation, as the blood is now also needed to supply the growing fetus. However, the symptoms can also be signs of diseases that may occur during pregnancy. A so-called gestational diabetes, i.e. diabetes mellitus, which occurs during the first pregnancy, can lead to circulatory disorders and the corresponding symptoms.

It is important to pay attention to certain risk factors, such as diabetes diseases in the family, in order to pay attention to warning signs. If gestational diabetes is detected early, the diet can be adjusted accordingly to prevent complications. Blood pressure disorders during pregnancy can also lead to dizziness, nausea and headaches.

In this context, the symptoms can be above all a warning sign of so-called eclampsia. Eclampsia causes seizures that occur during pregnancy and can be dangerous for the mother and child. In this case, further symptoms often occur in advance, such as impaired vision, sensitivity to light and noise and cramps.

Treatment/Therapy

The treatment of dizziness, nausea and headaches depends on the triggering cause. For example, if the cause is a blood sugar disorder, it must be adjusted accordingly with insulin or antidiabetics. Too high blood pressure can also be treated with various drugs.

In general, there are various medications for the relief of acute symptoms. The most common medications for headaches include painkillers such as aspirin, ibuprofen and diclofenac, also known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Metoclopramide or Vomex, for example, help against acute nausea.

The latter is also available as Vertigo-Vomex, which also combats dizziness. In addition, dizziness can be relieved by medication such as dimenhydrinate. Furthermore, a healthy and balanced lifestyle should be observed. This includes sufficient exercise and fresh air as well as a healthy diet to prevent stress and excessive strain and to stabilize the circulation.
