Dizziness

Dizziness is something most people have experienced at one point in their life. Maybe it happened because you stood up too quickly or when you forgot to eat for a while. In those cases, the dizziness is typically short-lived and fleeting. If you’re experiencing longer-lasting dizziness or frequent dizzy spells that could mean something more serious is occurring.

If you are experiencing dizziness, visit Bayside Urgent Care Center for evaluation.

We are located in Clearwater, Florida, and we’re always accepting new patients. No appointments are necessary.

A variety of factors can cause dizziness, anything from the environment to a medical condition. Some common causes of dizziness include:

Dizziness can fall into two different categories: lightheadedness and vertigo. Lightheadedness is typically what you feel before you faint and is generally caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure or a decrease in blood flow to your brain. Vertigo is the sensation that the room is spinning, even if you aren’t moving, and can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

If your dizziness doesn’t resolve after a few hours after drinking water or eating food, or if you have been having recurring spells of dizziness, you should seek help at your nearest urgent care center. It is essential to visit a medical professional if you experience sudden dizziness or difficulty walking after.

When you come in for a visit we will first do a physical examination, after which we may order blood work or scans to help us determine what is causing your dizziness.
