Nausea, dizziness, weakness - this is a triad that, unfortunately, many have to deal with.

These complaints can bother you very often, or - occasionally, or - with some frequency, but ailments accompanied by severe weakness, dizziness and nausea can be caused by many reasons, which are sometimes difficult to immediately determine in order to take treatment measures.

There are currently over eighty serious illnesses that are accompanied by these symptoms. But in themselves, nausea and dizziness can be a response to food poisoning, intoxication with any harmful substances, stress, fatigue, absence good nutrition, rest and sleep in particular.

It is not always possible to independently understand the causes of constant weakness with dizziness and nausea. It is imperative that you need to consult a specialist so as not to aggravate the condition and avoid complications if the examination reveals serious illness.

There can be many reasons. The most common, apart from pregnancy, foodborne diseases and poisoning with any harmful gases and substances are:

Nausea and dizziness: causes - vegetative-vascular dystonia

It could be sent to the same row where we are talking about pregnancy, poisoning, overwork, vitamin deficiencies, etc., since this is the first diagnosis that can be thought of after hearing complaints of weakness, dizziness and nausea (if the patient is sure that he does not have a pregnancy, he is not poisoned and is not at all overworked).

Vegetovascular dystonia (VVD) has such a variety of manifestations and is accompanied by such a multitude of complaints (in the absence of expressed objective data) that now this diagnosis is made to both children and adults, and even very adults, i.e., the elderly. Although, until recently, VSD was not a diagnosis. This is a symptom complex that was observed in children and adolescents during the period of active growth of the body and was accompanied by nausea and dizziness, constant weakness. At the same time, no serious pathology was revealed from the side of internal organs and systems. Young "nervous" impressionable women, people of art, etc. also suffered from this.

But due to the increased pace of life, stress, overload, lack of sleep, lack of good rest and the diet, the vessels in both children and adults have become so labile that the reaction of the body, and, in particular, the peripheral nervous system and blood vessels, to all these external stimuli

can be unpredictable. Blood pressure rises or drops sharply, sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, "darkening" or flashing of "flies" in front of the eyes appear. This condition, without treatment and, accordingly, rest, can continue. long time- permanently. Sudden aggravations may occur - crises requiring emergency care.

In all cases, if you are worried about constant nausea, dizziness and weakness, you need to consult a doctor to clarify the diagnosis and, in addition to the prescribed treatment, exclude all the causes that cause this condition.

As a rule, by normalizing the way of life and nutrition, refusing, no matter how corny it sounds, from bad habits (smoking and alcohol greatly affect the tone of blood vessels, aggravating the pathological condition), adding physical activity, you can get rid of excruciating symptoms vegetative dystonia... Treatment, which is prescribed by courses, includes the intake of vascular drugs, adaptogens, nootropics, if necessary - antihypertensive and improving trophism.

Nausea and dizziness: causes - osteochondrosis

Also, it would seem, a "duty" diagnosis, which is often made if there are complaints of nausea and dizziness, general weakness, but there are no obvious signs of any disease. Osteochondrosis is often underestimated. Studies have shown that even children suffer from osteochondrosis preschool age... It has long ceased to be the prerogative of the elderly and has become significantly "younger". It is with cervical osteochondrosis that its first manifestations can be nausea, dizziness and weakness. Later, as it develops, fatigue appears, "semi-fainting", excruciating headaches, which may be accompanied by vomiting, severe pain in the cervical spine, up to the fact that the whole body has to turn.

Osteochondrosis is a degenerative-dystrophic changes in the intervertebral cartilage that progress with age.

Nausea and dizziness, general weakness, as manifestations cervical osteochondrosis in the early stages, associated with changes in the vessels.

At the beginning of the disease, it can be suspended, saving yourself from painful manifestations in the future. But for this, you need to accurately verify the diagnosis by contacting a specialist, and, if necessary, undergo some examinations: an X-ray cervical spine, MRI ( magnetic resonance imaging), CT ( CT scan).

So nausea and dizziness, as well as weakness, which are often caused by osteochondrosis, require a doctor's consultation and serious treatment further. Treatment should be comprehensive: physiotherapy (massages, physiotherapy, swimming, reflexology, electrophoresis, phonophoresis), medication (vascular drugs, vitamins and trace elements, chondroprotectors), balanced diet.

Nausea, weakness and dizziness: causes - vertigo

The triad of nausea, dizziness and weakness is a manifestation of the vertigo syndrome: in Latin it means "to rotate". Vertigo, depending on the level of the lesion, is peripheral (occurs in the vestibular apparatus, organs of vision) and central ( nerve centers).

The peripheral form of vertigo is associated with damage to peripheral organs ( inner ear), manifests itself acutely, lasts from several minutes to several days, the symptoms of nausea, dizziness and weakness are pronounced. Blood pressure may also decrease, hearing impairment, vomiting, sweating may appear.

At central form vertigo clinic is less pronounced. Nausea, dizziness and weakness are almost constant. The cause may be a violation cerebral circulation, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, trauma, epilepsy, migraine.

Nausea and dizziness: causes - anemia and hypotension

Anemia and low blood pressure can cause nausea, dizziness, and weakness. It is also necessary to consult a doctor, because to clarify the diagnosis of anemia, which also has several types, a blood test is necessary.

With anemia, you cannot self-medicate. It, in turn, can be an independent disease, or a manifestation of some other, even more serious disease.

In this case, the identified underlying disease is treated, which resulted in anemia and hypotension.
