I am often dizzy, when i wake up in the morning, when i read vehicles and when it is really hot. I had my blood levels checked and I don't have an iron deficiency. Any other reason why i am always dizzy?

Almost everyone has had a feeling of unsteadiness or a whirling sensation in their heads at some point in their lives. Usually it's chalked up to dizziness, but dizziness is a broad term that can mean different things to different people. It's a common complaint, but it can be serious.

It has no specific medical meaning, but there are four common conditions that can be considered types of dizziness:

Vertigo. The feeling of motion when there is no motion, such as you spinning or your environment spinning. Spinning yourself round and round, then suddenly stopping, can produce temporary vertigo. But when it happens in the normal course of living, it signals a problem with the vestibular system of the inner ear -- the body's balance system that tells you which way is down and senses the position of your head. About half of all dizziness complaints are vertigo.

Lightheadedness. Also called near syncope, lightheadedness is the feeling that you are about to faint. It is commonly felt by standing up too quickly or by breathing deeply enough times to produce the sensation.

Disequilibrium. A problem with walking. People with disequilibrium feel unsteady on their feet or feel like they are going to fall.

Anxiety. People who are scared, worried, depressed, or afraid of open spaces may use "dizzy" to mean frightened, depressed, or anxious.

There can also be something wrong with your eyes, since sometimes vision has a large effect on our equilibrium. Better have another round of tests to check what's really wrong

Dizziness can be a one-time event, or it can be a chronic, long-lasting problem. Nearly everyone who is dizzy will get better. This is because a person's sense of balance is a complex interaction between the brain, each ear's separate vestibular system, and the sense of vision. When one component breaks down, the others usually learn to compensate.

Dizziness is a word that is often used to describe two different feelings. It is important to know exactly what you mean when you say "I feel dizzy" because it can help you and your health professional narrow down the list of possible problems. Although dizziness can occur in people of any age, it is more common among older adults. A fear of dizziness can cause older adults to limit their physical and social activities. Dizziness can also lead to falls and other injuries. Be careful.

dizziness can be because of different factors. it can be the eyes or you may have have deficiency. the best way to find the reason is to consult a doctor.

I also feel dizzy when i going out of the house and a sudden burst of light flashes on my eys makes me dizzy and my sight blurs. Is it telling me to have glasses?

Well in that effect you should a professional or optometrist to check your eys or if you have astimatism.

There are a lot of factor when a person started to become dizzy. They can be low in blood pressure, eye problems like astimatism or lack of nutrients. Once you feel dizzy step it up go and see a doctor to diagnose you to have the root cause of it.

Have you checked lately your blood pressure. Becse low and high blood pressure also affets dizziness.

You may need glasses if you don't have it already or you need a total physical exam to know for sure.

If you're feeling dizzy every time, see a doctor to have a physical exam.

I agree. My dizziness was due to high blood pressure and having astigmatism. If it is reoccurring I would definetly go to a doctor.
