Prognosis

The prognosis for dizziness and nausea is usually very good. Initially, these are symptoms that are often triggered by an acute situation such as driving a car on a very winding road. Although these symptoms occur repeatedly when driving a car, they are harmless and usually only last a short time.

In the case of chronic dizziness, diseases of the vestibular organ and the brain should first be ruled out. If such an illness occurs, it can often be treated so that the complaints disappear. However, there are also cases where the cause remains unexplained or cannot be treated, so that the symptoms occur more frequently and often last for a longer period of time.

Dizziness, vomiting & nausea from heat

In summer, when temperatures are hot and you spend a long time in the sun, the heat can cause dizziness and nausea. This is often a so-called heat stroke, which is caused by the heat, not only by the heat, but also by not drinking enough and not wearing enough headgear or too warm clothing. The permanent exposure of the head to the sun can cause sunstroke.

After staying in the sun (even hours afterwards), light forms usually only cause dizziness and nausea, while worse forms cause additional headaches and a circulatory collapse with a sharp drop in blood pressure. In the worst case it can lead to confusion or seizures. The skin is reddened, those affected sweat heavily and the body temperature of the body rises sharply (up to over 40°C).

Dizziness, nausea and vomiting can be the result. The first measure is to lower the body temperature to prevent worse consequences of high body temperature. This is mainly done with cold water and by removing the body from the sun.To avoid heat stroke, it is important to drink a lot on hot days and to wear airy clothes so that the heat does not build up under your clothes.
