DIZZINESS WHAT DOES IT MEAN IN GENERAL PRACTICE AND MORE..?

A  common and painless discomfort localized in the head and  due to a lot of diseases and physiologic conditions, dizziness is described as a sensation of moving and spinning, lightheadness, vertigo and unsteadiness. Usually, gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms manifest such as  nausea or vomit, sweating but, however common these  symptoms  might be, they relate sometimes to more serious disorders. 

Let's consider the main causes of this condition

• LOW BLOOD PRESSURE
• HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
• DEHYDRATATION
• MEDICATIONS
• POSTURAL HYPOTHENSION
• DIABETES
• ENDOCRINE DISOIRDERS
• HYPERVENTILATION
• HEART CONDITIONS
• VAGO-VAGAL SYNCOPE

American authors are aware of a lot of  differences that  the word dizziness doesn't emphasize enough and  that spans every sensation of moving and spinning felt by patients visiting doctors. Lightheadness comprises a huge range of spinning sensations due to many causes and referring to a lot of diseases. Meniere's disease  causes as well  vertigo and lightheadness, but it  is a more serous condition than short lived fainting spells. As a result, when talking dizziness, it pays off to consider the physiological and pathological conditions this term can refer to, without saying noting about motion sickness  whether at the sea or  high level..

A HUGE RANGE OF SYMPTOMS. 

MAYO CLINIC staff note in a crystal clear language such details by observing::

.Dizziness is a term used to describe everything from feeling faint or lightheaded to feeling weak or unsteady. Dizziness that creates the sense that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving is called vertigo.

Dizziness is one of the most common reasons adults visit their doctors — right up there with chest pain and fatigue. Although frequent dizzy spells or constant dizziness can keep you from doing much of anything, dizziness rarely signals a serious, life-threatening condition. Treatment of dizziness depends on the cause and your symptoms, but is usually effective.

DIZZINESS SYMPTOMS

HIDDEN SIGNS OF HEART FAILURE

In daily medical practice, it is not uncommon to hear some words or sentences trying to explain feelings and symptoms described by our patients. Whatever their approach, they help us  figure out  what goes underneath with respects to the basic ailments.

Besides the classical SOB shortness of breath, chest pain or squeezing, we very often  watch our patients mentioning some  rapid weight gain, due most of the time to fluid retention related to some impaired renal function. Mental confusion, impaired thinking, disorientation ensue as   blood flow is reducing  at the brain level.  There also exists some incapacity for the  feet  to fit the  shoes because of ankle and feet swelling.  French authors note the  current spoon shaped  nails  of people with heart failure condition while noticing “crackles sounds” at the base of the lungs heard at the stethoscope. Coughing is common as well as blood tainted sputum. Some  people wake up at night all of a sudden gasping for air. This is the classical PND. They happen to  need more pillows to rest upon and breathe better. Sometimes, they have to sit down to  at the edge of their beds. This position is called orthopnea. Many doctors used to diagnose at distance this heart condition nothing but by watching the way these patients try to cope with their air hunger.

More, we learn from these patients how cold they feel. Even though at rest, they keep sweating, are unable to exercise even by holding a piece of paper between their fingers. They  feel  exhausted  even on walking  by their bed.

Put shortly, hidden signs of heart failure imply gastro intestinal symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite and nausea, simulate urinary disorders because people with this condition urinate a lot at night, have also pulmonary symptoms caused by the blood backing up into the lungs, hence the pinkish sputum. Some patients may have heart attacks without any symptom. This is the silent myocardial infarction,  the silent killer associated sometimes with diabetes, let alone chest pain  spreading at the shoulder, jaws, neck, elbows and the back

EARLY SIGNS OF HEART FAILURE

How does  our heart work ?

This is still an interesting topic upon which researchers, doctors continue to ask more and more questions. Thanks to the video of   McGraw Hill, we can understand what systole and diastole are. They are instrumental in the good function of our heart. If they fail to meet the needs of our body in blood volume and oxygen, we are at risk of developing heart failure a condition better known under the name of congestive heart failure (CHF).  

Many signs can herald this impending condition such as: anxiety, weight gain, dyspnea or a sensation of quick filling after eating a little bit and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. Respiratory discomfort is mostly present, because the mismatching of the couple diastole systole (blood ejection due to ventricular contraction and ventricular  relaxation)reduces the movement of the fluids, first at all in the respiratory system before going further to the liver, the upper part of the body and the  limbs, to mention a few
