Tiny tots think it's great fun to whirl around until they lose balance and fall down. And if we're honest, most of us have felt the room spin when we've gone to bed after too much booze. But when dizziness strikes for no obvious reason it's no joke and can be really debilitating.
小孩子觉得转圈圈是非常有趣的事，前提是他们没有失去平衡、摔倒。说实话，我们大多数人在喝了太多酒后上床睡觉时，都会觉得房间在旋转。但如果我们毫无缘由的感到眩晕，那可不是开玩笑的，真的会让人感到虚弱。
1. Anxiety
1. 焦虑
If your swimming head is teamed with other nervy symptoms, like restlessness, palpitations and a feeling of dread, the chances are it's anxiety that's the problem.
如果你不仅头晕，而且还出现了其它的紧张症状，比如心烦意乱、心悸和感觉恐惧，那焦虑可能是'罪魁祸首'。
Feel better: Exercising regularly, stopping smoking and cutting down on alcohol and caffeine will help. nhs.uk also recommends CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) as an effective anxiety treatment. If you're experiencing stress-related dizziness, breathe slower and deeper, and focus on a spot in the distance. Drink some water, as mild dizziness from dehydration may feel worse if you're anxious.
如何改善：定期锻炼、戒烟、减少酒精和咖啡因的摄入将会让你感觉更好。nhs.uk还建议将认知行为疗法作为有效的焦虑治疗方法。如果你经历过与压力有关的眩晕，那你可以缓慢的深呼吸、聚焦远处的一个点。喝点水，因为在焦虑情况下，因为脱水引起的轻微头晕可能会变得更为糟糕。
2. Low blood pressure
2. 低血压
Having low blood pressure can cause dizziness, particularly when you get up too quickly from a seated or lying position.
低血压可能导致头晕，尤其当你原本坐着或躺着，然后快速站起来的时候更是如此。
Feel better: If you know you're prone to this type of dizziness, always get up slowly. Having low blood pressure can be healthy, but rule out any underlying conditions with your GP.
如何改善：如果你知道你容易出现此类头晕，那就慢点起身好了。低血压可能是健康的，但一定要和自己的全科医生排除其它潜在症状。
3. Ageing
3. 衰老
Dizziness and unsteadiness are more likely when the eyes, vestibular system of the inner ear and muscles are no longer working in harmony. Age-related cardiovascular problems can also cause dizziness by affecting blood flow.
当眼睛和内耳的前庭系统以及肌肉不再协调一致时，头晕和不稳定的情况更有可能发生。与年龄相关的心血管疾病也会因为血流影响导致头晕。
Feel better: Stay active - tai chi classes can help, according to the Vestibular Disorders Association. And talk to your GP about the prescription medicines you take because many have dizziness as a side-effect - there could be alternatives for you to try.
如何改善：保持活跃--前庭障碍协会表示，上太极课或能带来益处。和自己的全科医生聊聊你服用的处方药，因为很多药都会带来头晕的副作用--你可以尝试一些其它药品。
4. Anaemia
4. 贫血
Pale skin, tiredness and fatigue are the usual symptoms associated with iron-deficiency anaemia, but dizziness is another.
皮肤苍白、疲倦和疲劳都是与缺铁性贫血相关的常见症状，但头晕也是症状之一。
Dietitian Dr Sarah Schenker explains: "The reason anaemia can cause a light-headed feeling is because there's not enough iron to make red blood cells and haemoglobin that provide oxygen to the brain."
营养学家Sarah Schenker博士解释道："贫血会导致轻微头晕是因为没有足够的铁组成红血球和血红蛋白，而这两种物质会为大脑提供氧气。"
Feel better. Get a blood test - if you're anaemic, you'll need to be prescribed a high-dose iron supplement. Iron-rich foods include lamb, beef, green ?vegetables and nuts. Avoid having a cuppa with meals as tea interferes with iron uptake.
如何改善：进行血液检查--如果你患有贫血，那医生可能会给你开一个高剂量的铁补充剂。含铁丰富的食物有羊肉、牛肉、绿叶蔬菜和坚果。吃饭时不要喝茶，因为茶会干扰铁的摄入。
