We studied the impact of iron treatment on dizziness experienced by a 42-year-old woman suffering from severe iron deficiency anemia due to menometrorrhagia. Throughout her hospital stay, she received blood transfusions and intravenous iron, which played a critical role in addressing her debilitating symptoms.
Remarkably, despite her initial critically low hemoglobin levels, she managed to remain hemodynamically stable. By the end of her treatment, her symptoms of fatigue and dizziness had resolved, allowing her to return to her normal activities before discharge. This case highlights an important connection between iron levels and dizziness, illustrating that replenishing iron can significantly alleviate dizzy spells linked to anemia.
Our findings underscore how crucial it is to address iron deficiency effectively, as it can prevent serious complications and improve overall quality of life for patients experiencing symptoms like dizziness.

In this study, we set out to investigate how iron treatment, specifically using deferoxamine, could protect against dizziness caused by aminoglycoside antibiotics like gentamicin. To do this, we used a group of rats and divided them into three categories: those receiving only gentamicin, those treated with gentamicin and deferoxamine, and a control group that only received saline. This approach allowed us to carefully monitor the differences in vestibular function, which is closely linked to balance and dizziness.
We observed that rats treated solely with gentamicin began to show significant balance issues after just a couple of days. They had nearly complete damage to important sensory cells in their inner ear, leading to a dramatic loss of vestibular function. On the other hand, the groups receiving either saline or gentamicin with deferoxamine maintained their vestibular function throughout the study, showing much healthier inner ear structures.
This indicates that deferoxamine can effectively mitigate the dizziness associated with gentamicin-induced vestibulotoxicity. The findings suggest that using iron-chelating agents like deferoxamine may be beneficial for individuals at risk of inner ear damage from certain medications. Overall, we have compelling evidence that iron's role in protecting against ototoxicity is worth considering in clinical settings.

We explored how ice water vestibular stimulation affects ascorbic acid (AA) levels in the brain, particularly in relation to dizziness. Using a method called in vivo microdialysis coupled with electrochemical detection, we monitored changes in extracellular AA in the primary somatosensory area of guinea pigs. Our study included 16 guinea pigs divided into three groups: one group received ice water stimulation, while the other two were exposed to warm water and ice water without vestibular input.
The results revealed that the concentration of extracellular AA increased in the brain following the ice water stimulation. This finding suggests that there may be neurochemical responses associated with AA that play a role in managing conditions like vertigo. However, while the study shows an intriguing relationship between AA levels and vestibular stimulation, it does not establish a direct link between vitamin C's effectiveness in treating dizziness specifically.
Overall, the insights gained from this research could help pave the way for further investigations into the role of vitamin C in vertigo-related treatments, adding a layer of understanding to its neurochemical functions.

The only iron I've managed to digest without vomiting. This supplement is ideal for anyone struggling with low iron but who has a sensitive stomach and cannot tolerate brown liquid forms. It has made a world of difference. I've been anaemic for as long as I can remember, experiencing fatigue, dizziness, etc. I'm thankful I found this iron which I can take on an empty stomach without side effects—so much easier for my lifestyle.

Yes, for someone with anaemia, I was in search of affordable iron pills. The inclusion of vitamin C is a bonus, aiding absorption. The dizziness and light-headedness when standing diminished mostly after just four days of taking them three times a day. However, people with anaemia shouldn't expect this to completely resolve the problem; we require much more iron than over-the-counter options. Still, it’s better than nothing.

We investigated the effectiveness of ascovertin, a combination of flavonoid dihydroquercetin and vitamin C, in patients experiencing dizziness due to vascular encephalopathy linked to atherosclerosis. The study included 21 participants who received ascovertin over a 21-day period, compared to a control group of 10 patients who did not receive the treatment.
Through our observations, we found that those taking ascovertin reported relief from headaches, reduced feelings of vertigo, and less fatigue. Additionally, cognitive functions showed noticeable improvement in the treatment group.
Importantly, we also observed a significant decrease in whole blood viscosity, attributed to better cellular behavior, such as reduced aggregation of red blood cells and enhanced red blood cell flexibility. This effect was not present in the control group, suggesting that ascovertin may play a beneficial role in managing symptoms related to dizziness. However, it's essential to note that we cannot isolate the effect of vitamin C from the overall treatment effect.
Therefore, while ascovertin appears to help those experiencing dizziness related to vascular issues, the specific contribution of vitamin C alone to this improvement remains unclear.

We sought to assess the effectiveness of radical scavengers, including vitamin C, in treating dizziness related to Ménière's disease (MD). In a pilot trial involving 25 patients experiencing poorly controlled MD, participants took rebamipide, vitamin C, and/or glutathione for at least 8 weeks.
The results were promising overall. Among 22 evaluated patients, we observed that 21 experienced marked improvement in their vertigo symptoms. Additionally, there were improvements in hearing disorders and tinnitus for some participants. However, it is important to note that vitamin C was part of a broader treatment regimen, and its specific effects on dizziness were not assessed independently. Hence, we cannot conclusively attribute the benefits seen solely to vitamin C.
Overall, while the combination therapy showed potential, further research is needed to isolate the impact of vitamin C on dizziness in MD, providing a more definitive understanding.
