Dizziness and fatigue are common physical discomfort symptoms that may be caused by various factors, mainly including:
1. Lack of sleep or poor sleep quality: Long-term insufficient sleep or poor sleep quality can lead to physical fatigue and mental exhaustion, resulting in symptoms of dizziness and fatigue.
2. Anemia: Insufficient quantity or quality of red blood cells in the blood leads to inadequate oxygen supply, which may cause symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue.
3. Hypoglycemia: Low blood sugar levels, usually caused by improper diet or abnormal insulin secretion, can also lead to dizziness and fatigue.
4. Cardiovascular diseases: Conditions such as hypertension and heart disease may affect blood supply and cardiac function, leading to dizziness and fatigue.
5. Neurological diseases: Such as cerebrovascular accidents or encephalitis, which may damage the nervous system and cause symptoms of dizziness and fatigue.
6. Other factors: These include malnutrition, excessive fatigue, infections or fever, and mental disorders, which can also result in dizziness and fatigue.
If these symptoms persist, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
