Other symptoms
Other symptoms that can occur in connection with dizziness, nausea and diarrhea:
- Tremble
- Sweating
- Tiredness
- Circulatory complaints
- Low blood pressure
- Dizziness
- Disturbance of equilibrium
- Headaches
- Migraine
- Abdominal pain
Dizziness, nausea and tremor are also a typical symptom combination of various diseases. In addition to the above-mentioned poisoning with food, plants, etc., trembling also occurs in the context of psychogenic vertigo attacks. In addition to panic attacks and phobias, this also includes the field of anxiety disorders.
Here, an exaggerated or inappropriate fear of certain situations, animals, places or a large crowd of people occurs. Other symptoms such as dizziness (often a phobic dizziness), trembling, heavy sweating and palpitations are typical. Strong urge to urinate or diarrhoea and nausea can also occur.
If increased sweating occurs in addition to dizziness with nausea, this combination of symptoms speaks for an acute circulatory disorder. In most cases, the cause is too low blood pressure, which leads to an undersupply of blood to the brain. The brain reacts very sensitively to an undersupply of oxygen and causes the symptoms dizziness and nausea within seconds.
Sweating should be seen as a reaction to the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which is stimulated as a nerve in stress and emergency situations. Actually, from an evolutionary point of view, it has the task of optimally supporting the body in its fight for survival. One aspect is to protect the body from overheating by means of cold sweat.
From a physical point of view, a circulatory disorder is nothing more than an extraordinary stress situation. The sympathetic nervous system is therefore automatically activated and reflexively stimulates sweat production. Fatigue is a typical symptom of anaemia, the most common form being iron deficiency anaemia.
In addition to dizziness and tiredness, pale skin, poor performance or lack of concentration, freezing and gastrointestinal problems are classic symptoms of anemia. If several of these symptoms occur together, anemia should be ruled out via a blood count. The cause lies in an insufficient fluid volume in the blood vessel system.
The heart detects the lack of fluid via sensors and tries to compensate for the vital supply of blood to the organs by increasing the frequency. If this is not successful, the result is an undersupply of organs. The brain reacts most sensitively because it does not have its own energy storage.
Since it is also responsible for consciousness and perception, circulatory problems are to be seen as symptoms emanating from the brain and its associated structures. Only tachycardia can be classified as cardiac symptoms. But even if the blood pressure is too low (hypotension), fatigue, dizziness, blackening of the eyes and poor performance can occur.
Cold, ringing in the ears or palpitations can also occur. Causes of hypotension can be anemia as well as hypothyroidism, which can also be determined by certain laboratory values. Furthermore, many cardiological diseases lead to dizziness symptoms and simultaneously existing tiredness or weakness in performance.
Bradycardias, in which the pulse rate falls below 60 beats per minute, are particularly noteworthy. Often syncope (short-term unconsciousness) and the feeling of breathlessness then also occur. Other cardiological diseases associated with dizziness and fatigue include carotid sinus syndrome (reduction of brain blood flow with dizziness, unconsciousness, drop in blood pressure and bradycardia), sinus node syndrome (disturbance of the formation and regression of excitation in the heart associated with dizziness and short-term unconsciousness) and various cardiac arrhythmias (in addition to dizziness and weakness here also thoracic pain, shortness of breath, possibly heart stumbling/torrhage).
Dizziness is often accompanied by dizziness and nausea and is usually caused by a circulatory disorder. Often it is a too low blood volume in the vascular system that is the specific reason for the dizziness.If there is not enough blood in the blood vessels, the heart cannot ensure that all organs are supplied with oxygen-rich blood. The brain reacts very quickly to the lack of blood flow with a gradual loss of its functions.
The dazed state is to be seen as a warning symptom that offers last resort and can develop into fainting if ignored. A disturbance of balance is usually accompanied by dizziness and nausea, as perceived sensory impressions contradict each other. The sensation of the body’s position in space does not correspond to the visually perceived impressions in the case of a balance disorder.
The effect is that the brain cannot process the information correctly. Symptomatically, the affected person then experiences dizziness with blurred vision. The nausea occurs as a side effect because special brain centers such as the vomiting center can be activated by reflection.
In addition to dizziness and fatigue, headaches can also be a sign of an existing anemia. Furthermore, after an accident, craniocerebral trauma or a concussion is accompanied by dizziness, nausea and vomiting as well as headache. Typical here are also a short unconsciousness after the accident as well as a memory gap (amnesia).
There is also a certain form of migraine (vestibular migraine), which is associated with attacks of dizziness. This is one of the forms of migraine with aura and is accompanied by recurrent attacks of dizziness and the typical migraine symptoms (pulsating, usually hemiplegic headache, sensitivity to light or sound, vomiting and nausea). However, if there is no accident, the laboratory parameters are okay and there are no other known underlying diseases, a brain tumor should be considered in the case of long-term complaints.
Depending on their location in the brain, brain tumors can cause a wide variety of symptoms, the growth in size can cause headaches, and if they are located close to the inner ear or close to nerves of the inner ear that need to be supplied, they can also cause dizziness. If abdominal pain with dizziness and nausea occurs, this indicates a disproportionate distribution of the blood volume towards the intestine. It is often poorly digestible or incompatible food components that irritate the intestine after eating.
The more difficult digestion is for the intestine, the more blood it needs for its own supply. If dizziness and nausea occur in addition to abdominal pain, this indicates that the intestine is taking up too much of the blood volume for itself and that other organs such as the brain are undersupplied. The brain shows its undersupply in dizziness with nausea, the stomach its disturbed digestion in abdominal pain.
