Vertigo, with a perceived and specific cause, can be easily eliminated. When the condition begins to occur regularly, but without reason, it causes concern. Often the reason for the dizziness is psychosomatics.
Dizziness, when the world floats in front of your eyes, the earth leaves from under your feet, can be caused by various reasons. From the point of view of physiology, dizziness cannot be considered as a separate disease. This is always a symptom of some disorder. An unpleasant condition can arise in the context of some mental pathologies. Within the framework of psychosomatics, a dizzy head can act as a separate specific reaction.
Dizziness as a reaction to the current situation
In some cases, the answer to the question of why your head is spinning is quite simple to find. In a state of stress, emotional overexcitement and excitement, the perception of the world is distorted. Against the background of the unreality of everything that happens, a false sensation of dizziness often arises. It can be accompanied by psychogenic nausea, chills, ringing in the ears and head, weakness and other unpleasant manifestations. However, one has only to eliminate a particular stressor or stop being nervous / worried, as the dizziness instantly disappears.
The danger of this kind of condition lies in the fact that at the level of the psyche, under the influence of fear and unwillingness to endure discomfort, a certain trigger can gain a foothold. In this case, the dizziness will return, as soon as the person finds himself in certain conditions and circumstances again. Sometimes the trigger may not even be the environment itself, but some specific object. For example, at the time of a severe attack of dizziness, a person drank milk and was sad. Once in a situation similar in emotion to the previous one, and starting to drink milk, a person may again face an uncomfortable state.
However, the feeling that your head is spinning, and the appearance of lightheadedness can arise not only due to a specific situation.
Psychosomatics of vertigo
We can talk about psychogenic dizziness if it occurs, it would seem, without specific reasons. The condition may be unexpected for a person. An additional nuance: dizziness of a psychosomatic type goes away on its own, and often manifests itself at the same time, for example, in the late evening.
What are the psychosomatic factors that cause dizziness?
- Unwillingness to do something or go somewhere. Short-term dizziness can arise even from the very thought that something needs to be done, but you absolutely do not want to do this for one reason or another.
- Any unexpected and drastic changes in life, which seem to knock the ground out from under your feet. The lack of support and the feeling of weightlessness at an unconscious level can be projected into consciousness with the help of a spinning head.
- Lack of confidence, faith in oneself, a feeling of hopelessness and fear of future events often manifest themselves through long or short-term dizziness.
- Forced exit from the comfort zone, change of work or place of study, moving to another city, divorce or wedding - all these nuances can also become an impetus for the emergence of an uncomfortable state.
- An excessive number of unexpressed thoughts, unrealized ideas, difficulties and problems independently created in life cause a state when the head is spinning, the world seems distant and illusory.
- Unwillingness to accept or acknowledge anything. This may be a reluctance to take responsibility or a reluctance to admit mistakes.
- In moments when it seems to a person that the whole world around him is up in arms against him, that everything around is gray and dull, that reality has become disgusting, one may feel that his head is spinning for no reason.
- When a person wants to hide, when the current situation in life causes only one desire - to close his eyes and not see, a feeling of dizziness may reappear.
- Fear to seem strange and not understood, fear to express your opinion, to describe your feelings - these are other psychosomatic reasons that cause dizziness.
