Fatigue and dizziness will show up as symptoms together, in a number of conditions. Most of the time a diagnoses is concluded by, not only looking at these symptoms, but also the accompanying symptoms. Fatigue is the feeling of weariness. A stage where there might be a general pain in the muscles or just a constant feeling of tiredness. Fatigue can be classified into two distinct categories: physical fatigue and mental fatigue. While physical fatigue is generally associated with muscle fatigue and the feeling that one cannot perform to normal physical levels. Mental fatigue can be an addition to the physical fatigue one experiences where a person can also seem less attentive because the brain does not respond in the normal timeliness.
While fatigue can be attributed to a number of reasons like jet lag, emotional stress, work related stress as well as depression; it may also be caused by a serious lack of minerals or vitamins in the body.
Fatigue can also be a symptom for an underlying condition as serious as cancer, diabetes, anemia, heart disease or chronic fatigue syndrome amongst others. A complete lack of energy and a feeling of passing out, palpitations of the heart, shortness of breath, extreme tiredness and exhaustion are some of the foremost symptoms of fatigue.
Dizziness is a feeling of an individual’s surroundings to appear to start moving around the person. It is an impairment of a person’s stability and is likely to be caused by a malfunction in the working of the middle ear. The middle ear is a very likely source of this condition as its mechanism provides the human body with a sense of stability and balance. Another prime cause of dizziness is when the supply of blood to the brain is cut off or suspended. A sudden change in blood pressure, either high or low, is also a very common cause of dizziness.
Dizziness can also be brought on by a number of underlying causes and could lead to further serious but more defined conditions like Vertigo, where the sufferer has a feeling of falling, most commonly experienced when standing at heights and looking toward the ground. Some people may even suffer heart attack when suffering dizziness, if the dizziness was caused due to extremely high blood pressure. Symptoms for dizziness include but are not restricted to nausea, a sense of fainting, extreme tiredness or fatigue and feeling off balance.
