Health Tip: Why is the Room Spinning?

June 23 -- (HealthDay News) -- Dizziness typically isn't a serious problem. Most of the time, dizziness resolves itself or the underlying cause can be treated fairly easily.

The U.S. National Library of Medicine offers these common reasons for dizziness:

• Standing up too quickly.
• The flu.
• The common cold.
• Allergies.
• Low blood sugar.
• Vertigo.
• Problems with the inner ear, such as Meniere's disease or labyrinthitis.
• Irregular heart rhythm, stroke, brain tumor, multiple sclerosis, or significant drop in blood pressure. These less common but more serious causes require evaluation and treatment.
