If you experience a feeling of vomiting and feel dizzy, then this is a warning bell from the body, which indicates serious illness. Only a doctor can determine the cause of a pathogenic condition. Self-examination and self-medication will not lead to results. Treatment should be carried out using comprehensive measures.
Dizziness (vertigo syndrome) is a feeling during which a person feels that all objects are spinning around him.
Nausea is the stomach's desire to vomit.
Causes of the pathogenic condition

Symptoms that are not due to disease.
If you suddenly feel dizzy and nauseous, do not be afraid. Usually the reasons for this condition are:
- a person spun on a carousel, swung on a swing, or was at a height for a long time;
- a person eats poorly, goes hungry and is on the wrong diet;
- thoughts are confused;
- stress and nervous environment;
- long stay in an unventilated and stuffy office;
- magnetic storms;
- taking medications and vitamins without consulting a doctor;
- got sick in the car;
- seasickness.
Causes of the pathogenic condition in girls.
Women have an unstable emotional and hormonal state, unlike men. They often go on diets, fast, and do fasting days to lose weight and maintain body shape.
As a result of such activities, their glucose levels decrease, frequent dizziness begins, digestive ailments worsen, and hair falls out, which leads to stress and depression.
Dizziness in women is possible only if they are pregnant, have recently been under stress, premenstrual syndrome is about to begin, or it is time for menopause.
Causes of nausea and dizziness associated with illness.
Severe dizziness and nausea lead to loss of coordination and balance. These anomalies indicate diseases:
- osteochondrosis of the cervical spine;
- injuries to the head, hearing organs and spine;
- migraine;
- inflammation of the middle ear (labyrinthitis);
- episyndrome;
- Meniere's syndrome;
- disruption of the circulatory system of the brain;
- brain tumors;
- alcohol intoxication;
- spinal cord diseases;
- infections and meningitis;
- perilymphatic fistula;
- stroke.
An ambulance should be called if the patient, in addition to nausea and dizziness, experiences:
- fainting;
- vomit;
- elevated temperature;
- cardiopalmus;
- tingling hands;
- darkening of the eyes;
- ears began to hear poorly;
- dizzy after lying down for more than an hour;
- grainy image;
- pallor.
Pathogenic condition due to vegetative-vascular dystonia.
Staggering while walking, objects that “float”, nausea, anxiety, confusion of thoughts, a feeling of extreme hunger and lack of oxygen in the brain (the head is pressed from all sides) and dizziness are indicators of vegetative-vascular dystonia.
When you suddenly and abruptly change your body position, you begin to feel dizzy for a short period of time, and your health worsens due to the fact that the vessels do not have time to deliver a sufficient volume of blood to the brain.
Causes of pathogenic conditions that occur in the dark
. Systems such as the visual, vestibular, proprioceptive, and cerebral systems collectively regulate our balance. But if at least one of them has a disruption in the functioning of the organ, then dizziness will begin at night.
Causes of the pathogenic condition in a patient with diabetes mellitus.
During attacks, a patient with diabetes experiences chills, dizziness and nausea. This can lead to fainting or even coma. To avoid such symptoms, you need to get tested in advance, take the right amount of insulin or take medications, follow your diet and measure your sugar more often.
What to do if you feel dizzy and feel nauseous
Independent actions in case of dizziness and nausea:
- do not make quick movements, restore breathing;
- look at one specific object;
- drink cold water with a small piece of sugar;
- in case of strong emotional stress, drink a sedative or tea with oregano or chamomile;
- when your blood pressure drops, drink strong brewed black tea with chocolate (important: green tea, on the contrary, lowers blood pressure);
- if you have hypoglycemia (diabetics), eat candy with a lemon or mint flavor, or a piece of sugar, wash it down with warm tea;
- go outside or ventilate the room;
- if you start to feel very sick and everything around you is spinning, then you need to bend over and let your head go between your knees.
If the advice does not help, immediately call 003.
Normal blood pressure, but dizzy
To determine why you feel dizzy at normal blood pressure, it is necessary to identify the cause of the symptom and understand the signs of the phenomenon.
If you feel dizzy, at the same time you feel worse and feel weak. The specialist will first measure your blood pressure, because this symptom is characteristic of low or high blood pressure. If people’s measurements are normal, but the discomfort remains, an examination is prescribed to determine the cause.
If you feel dizzy, the phenomenon is accompanied by the following symptoms:
- severe nausea, in rare cases ending in vomiting;
- headache;
- severe weakness, general malaise;
- muscle weakness;
- apathy, close to depression, anemia;
- joint pain;

The listed signs of dizziness and general weakness with normal blood pressure may have a physiological or pathological origin.
Diagnostics
The doctor clarifies all the symptoms, their frequency, asks about your diet and sleep patterns, and how often you are in stressful situations. Asks about head, hearing, and vision injuries; do you take vitamins and medications, drink alcohol, and about the pace of life.
After all clarifications, the doctor refers to:
- blood analysis;

What should you do when you feel dizzy?
If you often experience dizziness, you need to seek medical help and begin treating the pathology. The specialist will conduct the necessary, comprehensive examination, find out the cause of what is happening, decide what to do, and how to cure the problem. The therapeutic prescription directly depends on the cause of the unpleasant symptom.
When you feel dizzy, you can provide first aid at home. You need to do the following:
- lie down with a pillow under your head. You can place a cold towel on your forehead. It's better to close your eyes and try to calm down. You need to lie down for a few minutes until the condition improves;
- When the attack subsides, you can drink coffee, preferably cold. You can replace coffee with peppermint tincture. Add 20 drops of tincture to a glass of water;
- if blood pressure remains normal during dizziness, you need to reconsider the menu. Your daily diet should include dishes containing phosphorus. Such products include nuts, cheese, eggs, fish.
You can completely get rid of dizziness only by finding out the cause of the unpleasant phenomenon and eliminating it. To do this, after making a medical diagnosis, you must follow the prescribed recommendations. If medications are prescribed, then you need to complete the full course of treatment.
Proper nutrition, mandatory breaks from work, walking, and physical activity will help get rid of this unpleasant symptom. It is necessary to exclude stressful situations from everyday life, and more often listen to the signals that the body gives.

Physiological factors that provoke dizziness
Dizziness with normal blood pressure is usually a temporary symptom. The reasons are the following non-hazardous factors:
- atmospheric phenomena. Sudden changes occurring in the atmosphere;
- nasal congestion;
- women feel dizzy during pregnancy;
- increased physical activity;
- emotional overstrain;
- sleep disorders;
- due to bad habits;
- uncomfortable body position;
- insufficient amount of iron in tissues;
- lack of vitamins;
- dehydration. If you don't drink water for a long time.
It is possible to determine the exact reasons why you feel dizzy when your blood pressure is normal only after a diagnostic examination.
Causes of headache if blood pressure is normal
Various reasons can cause discomfort. For example, if a person has not eaten well, slept poorly, or has been injured, he will not be able to function normally. The body lacks energy.
Stress, sleep disturbance
Stress is a reaction of the body, as a result of which the hormone adrenaline is released into the blood. At this moment, the blood vessels in the body narrow. If a person regularly experiences nervous tension, vascular tone will increase and headaches will occur.
Sleep disorders provoke similar consequences. The hormone cortisol is released and the body spends a lot of energy. Lethargy, apathy and pain are the consequences of poor sleep.
Due to neck and head injuries
As a result of injury to the head and neck, the oxygen supply to the brain is disrupted. The person feels tired and has pain in the back of the head.
Compression of the meninges
This occurs in people who have experienced earthquakes or suffered a traumatic brain injury or severe bruise. Exacerbations cause vomiting, depersenolization (separation of the personality from the body) and pain.
In this case, the person needs to lie down so that the pathology does not become protracted. Sometimes the ears may become blocked, causing a lack of energy.
Smoking and alcohol poisoning
Smoking provokes vasoconstriction, and in long-term smokers this process occurs on its own over time. At the same time, the pressure remains normal, but the head still hurts.
Alcohol causes pressure surges, as a result of which a person first gets pleasure, and an hour later he begins to experience pain in his temples. Your blood pressure may drop or rise.
Pain often strikes a person in the morning, as a result of the accumulation of toxins in the blood.
Remember that when there is pain, the pressure will not always increase.
Brain nutritional disorders
With this phenomenon, the brain, as a result of neck and head injuries, receives little oxygen. As a result, hypoxia occurs and the person constantly has a headache.
Wrong Products
More often than not, the cause of pain is not poor nutrition, but its lack. As a result of fasting, the body works with all its strength, and the person experiences stress, which, as we found out, provokes the appearance of pain in the head. In addition to them, your head may feel dizzy.
Medicinal substances (contraceptives, nitroglycerin)
Some medications directly affect the blood vessels of the brain and provoke either narrowing or expansion. In addition to pain, nausea, “noise” in the ears and pulsation in the temporal areas occur.
The drugs provoke an attack of hypertension, which can only be cured with the help of medications. The attack wave occurs suddenly and often people do not know what to do.
Treatment methods
Any medications will help relieve the consequences of the pathology, but will not eliminate the cause. If there is a sudden outbreak of pain, you need to take an analgesic and make an appointment with a doctor.
Diagnosis of the body
The first doctor who should examine you is a general practitioner. He will ask about your lifestyle and concomitant diseases. You may need to take a general blood test and urine test. The therapist will then refer you to a neurologist if necessary.
The neurologist will conduct a survey and examination. If necessary, he will prescribe x-rays, MRI or additional examinations. If it turns out that the cause is spinal curvature or osteochondrosis, the doctor will send you to sessions with an osteopath.
What tablets should I take?
Painkillers will help relieve pain in a short time. They can be taken by both children and adults, and even during pregnancy. The only caveat is that during lactation, consult a doctor so that the baby does not receive unnecessary substances with milk. Medicine for dizziness will help you immediately.
This is first aid at any age. If you feel nauseous with normal blood pressure, which causes you to feel unwell and feel very dizzy, immediately go to the pharmacy and buy any of the medications offered. If you have night pain, take the tablet in the evening.
