What can cause sudden dizziness?

Answer 1

Dizziness can be caused by many of things. It could be caused by sickness, been pregnant or high blood pressure.

Answer 2

Well, I ain't a doctor, lets get that out of the way first!! Merely a humble firefighter in the far reaches of West Yorkshire. I am also a HazMat instructor within the WY Fire & Rescue Service.

It depends in what context. It could be through inhaling, ingesting, absorpbing or injecting something that isn't too good for you. This is the most probable cause. Something like fumes from certain chemicals, radiation, medication etc, or physical contact with the same tupe of substances.

It could also be due to an effect on the body by something external like heat or a head injury.

Shock can also produce this sort of sympton but again, it depends how you came to be in shock, (hypovolemic shock relates to fluid loss from the body - like a major trauma such as a large laceration/loss of blood).

Apart from the first thing I said about inhaling, ingesting etc, a good bet would be heat syncope (pronounced sin-co-pay) or heat exhaustion.

I only know a little about this sort of thing but I'm sure you'll receive some better answers from more reliable sources.
