What happens to seniors that makes them get dizziness more easily or more often?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Changes in BP: Many elderly patients take medications that cause changes in their blood pressure. Quick changes in position from supine to sit to stand may cause a drop in blood pressure which can lead to imbalance, dizziness and sometimes a fall. Changes in the blood vessels may also impair blood flow to the brain and lead to dizziness. Other possible causes may be inner ear problems, heart disease.
