What Causes Dizziness And Feeling Disoriented?

16.05.2016 Hi For the last Month or so at different times and with no pattern to them I have been having light headiness and wobbly legs. It can be brief when I turn my head, lie down or like the other evening when I was getting in the car to go out and I came over all woozy and had to ask my husband to help me back indoors, it passes after a little while from anywhere between 30sec to 30 minutes and I am then able to carry on with my day. I have noticed they are getting slightly longer and more intense, but I cannot put my finger on the cause, I have no pain anywhere, exercise at the gym 3 times a week, walk my dog, eat heathy, drink plenty and only work 22 hours per week. Any advice would be helpful, I do not take any medication from the Doctor. Yours sincerely Stephanie Davy

Hi ,

* As per my clinical experience, the issue of dizziness with feeling disoriented can be related to changes with cerebral circulation at posterior brain, cerebellum or other pathology compromising fluid and pressure balance mechanics of the brain and surrounding structures.

I would recommend, a detailed history, physical examination with neurologic evaluation, relevant scans of MRI or CT as per the judgement on clinical grounds to look into the matter with greater perfection and guide accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
