Causes of dizziness with diarrhea, diarrhea, constipation and nausea

Possible reasons

Diarrhea often occurs as a result of bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms. In this case, people will have a number of symptoms:

1. Nausea and vomiting appear, which can last for several days
2. There is general weakness in the body.
3. There may be frequent dizziness
4. Lost appetite.
5. Pain of varying intensity appears in the abdomen, which often occurs at the time of bowel movements or during meals.
6. Body temperature increases.
7. Your head may hurt.

Dizziness, diarrhea and nausea, together with a general loss of strength, do not allow a person to work normally and the quality of life deteriorates significantly.

In some cases, it is difficult to establish the exact causes, since the symptoms may indicate gastrointestinal diseases, of which there are quite a few.

The doctor can roughly determine the causes by the intensity and type of pain, as well as by stool. For a more accurate diagnosis, you will need to undergo an examination and tests.

After determining the cause, the doctor prescribes the necessary treatment. At home, it is not easy to remove dizziness and diarrhea on your own, because vomiting almost always occurs, which worsens the condition.

There are several main reasons that will result in dizziness, diarrhea and other symptoms:

1. Food poisoning. In this case, the person’s temperature begins to increase, nausea begins, and the diarrhea itself can last for several days. Dizziness occurs as a result of dehydration.
2. Rotavirus infection. This pathology, in other words, is called intestinal flu and can cause a lot of discomfort and weakness in the body.
3. Salmonellosis, dysentery and other infectious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
4. Infection with bacteria, especially Helicobacter pylori infection, which contributes to peptic ulcers.
5. Dizziness and diarrhea may occur with gastroenteritis.
6. The reasons may be constant emotional stress, stress and anxiety.
7. In adolescence and in women, problems arise due to hormonal changes.
8. Diseases and disorders of the nervous system.

The described causes must be found and treated, as they can cause complications and other diseases.

Dizziness and diarrhea can be treated with different methods, but medications and dietary adjustments are mainly used.

Why does it happen?

Diarrhea is not an independent pathology; it is always a signal of some kind of trouble in the human body.
It can appear as a defensive reaction in response to dietary errors or as a symptom of various diseases.

Main reasons:

1. Poor nutrition - poor or monotonous food, predominance of fats or carbohydrates in the daily diet, food excesses, consumption of unusual foods, alcohol, too much food, etc.
2. Insufficiency or poor quality of produced digestive enzymes in congenital (lack of lactase) or acquired diseases (for example, diabetes, cholecystitis, pancreatitis).
3. Impaired absorption of certain nutrients in the intestine - primary malabsorption (celiac disease, cystic fibrosis) or secondary (with cirrhosis of the liver, chronic enteritis, oncology).
4. Infectious diseases - viral (rotavirus, enterovirus), bacterial (dysentery, salmonellosis) or parasitic (amoebiasis, giardiasis).
5. Inflammatory diseases - ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, ischemic or radiation damage to the intestine.
6. General intoxications - with influenza, purulent diseases, septic conditions.
7. Neuroses and psychopathy as a cause of intestinal irritation, increased peristalsis and diarrhea.

Additional symptoms

When a person begins to experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and dizziness, while the temperature rises, these symptoms may indicate poisoning or intestinal flu.

The symptoms are quite similar to each other, but there are several distinctive features by which pathologies are distinguished:

1. Nausea and vomiting accompanied by diarrhea indicate poisoning of the body. As a rule, deterioration of the condition appears almost immediately after poisoning and after some time weakness appears in the body.
2. If the stool becomes liquid, yellow in color, and has a sour aroma, then the symptoms often indicate a rotavirus infection. Also, this pathology is characterized by vomiting, which will be constant and does not go away for several hours.
3. If a person has the cause of the disorder due to salmonellosis, then diarrhea and vomiting occur, and dizziness appears very rarely, and the temperature remains normal or rises slightly.

All infectious diseases of the intestines in people begin with pain in the gastrointestinal tract, followed by headaches, dizziness, and pieces of food can be seen in the stool. This is due to the fact that the stomach is not able to properly digest foods.

Dizziness can occur with almost any pathology, and weakness almost always occurs. A dangerous symptom is diarrhea, which contains mucus or blood.

In this case, it is better to call an ambulance, since certain organs in the body are seriously ill.

You should also call an ambulance if there is blood in the vomit, as it should not be there under any circumstances.

If the cause of the disorder is poisoning, then the unpleasant sensations are relieved quite quickly and relief occurs in 2-3 days, but with other diseases, especially infectious ones, dizziness, diarrhea, and weakness will last a long time.

Diagnostic measures

All patients with severe digestive disorders, the symptoms of which cannot be controlled at the prehospital stage, are subject to examination in a hospital setting. Initially, the doctor will collect an anamnesis - the fact of possible consumption of low-quality products, the duration of diarrhea, stool consistency, color and smell of stool are important.

Then the abdomen is palpated, stool, urine and blood tests are prescribed - general and in some cases biochemical. In the presence of vomiting, vomit is also subject to laboratory testing. Instrumental diagnostic methods include ECG and Echo ECG.

Nutrition adjustments

As a rule, when there is weakness, vomiting, and dizziness, a person refuses to eat, but doctors do not recommend fasting.

In this case, it is necessary to use a certain diet, which can reduce the development of the disease and discomfort.

To adjust your diet, you must use the following rules:

1. Any dairy products are removed from the diet.
2. It is forbidden to eat fresh fruits, berries and vegetables.
3. You need to give up harmful and heavy foods, for example, spicy, smoked, fatty and fried foods, since such food only complicates the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and also makes the body vulnerable.
4. It is recommended to cook porridge in water.
5. The basis of nutrition should include boiled, stewed and steamed dishes. You can cook vegetables, meat (not fatty) or fish.
6. It is recommended to consume plenty of water and other liquids to flush out the stomach. Due to this, weakness and nausea will disappear.

Meals during treatment should be in small portions and often. This will not allow the gastrointestinal tract to be loaded. You need to eat without haste, chewing every piece of food thoroughly.

Be sure to give up soda, alcohol and fast food products.

How it manifests itself

An increase in bowel movements more than 3 times a day in an adult is not considered normal, especially if accompanied by symptoms such as pain or discomfort in the abdomen, flatulence, and nausea.

Frequent bowel movements lead to loss of fluid and salts due to impaired absorption with increased passage of intestinal contents. Hence symptoms such as weakness and dizziness.

Prolonged diarrhea without proper treatment can lead to dehydration and disruption of all organs and systems.

Depending on the etiology of the intestinal disorder, diarrhea may be accompanied by different symptoms:

• Nausea, repeated vomiting and low fever often indicate food poisoning. Diarrhea, dizziness and weakness follow a little later.

• Vomiting, high fever, pain and rumbling in the abdomen, frequent urge to defecate, mucus in the stool are signs of an intestinal infection. In severe cases and without treatment, toxicosis with exicosis (dehydration) and dysfunction of internal organs - kidneys, heart - may develop.
• Watery diarrhea without fever after a fatty or heavy meal, girdle pain, severe weakness and dizziness are symptoms of an inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract (pancreatitis, cholecystitis).
• Periodic loose stools mixed with blood, weight loss and retardation in physical development may speak in favor of Crohn's disease (damage to the gastrointestinal tract throughout). With nonspecific ulcerative colitis (hereditary damage to the colon), diarrhea with mucus and blood, weakness, anemia and dizziness are common.

Only a doctor can deal with each case of diarrhea and make the correct diagnosis.
