Can gastritis cause dizziness?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xuemei
Gastritis may cause dizziness. Gastritis can lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, impair nutrient absorption, and result in malnutrition. Deficiencies in various nutrients affect the body's normal functioning, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and weakness. Additionally, gastritis may cause inflammation in the digestive tract, affecting blood circulation and lowering blood pressure, which could also contribute to dizziness. Patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly for timely diagnosis and treatment to alleviate the condition and prevent symptoms like dizziness from occurring.
