Dizziness

[Swiftswift]

Does anyone else feel dizzy with their asthma? My 7 year old often complains of dizziness.

Does your 7 year old ever complain of any ear trouble? I had a bad ear infection in my early 20's that wasn't treated properly. When I recovered I was dizzy for years. I was finally diagnosed as having benign vertigo and given physiotherapy to help. I am a lot better than I was but every time I get tired, I also get dizzy. If I have had too many puffs on my blue inhaler, I get dizzy. If I am having an attack, I get dizzy. Fortunately, when I am fairly well, I don't notice being dizzy. Good luck.

Thanks - this is really helpful.

my son also say he feels dizzy, maybe lack of oxygen plus the reliever inhaler.

I remember being dizzy after using my blue Inhaler as a child... it was a long time ago... still get dizzy sometimes now (very rarely though)

Yes, I think it is from reduced oxygen intake. The blue inhaler can make me dizzy too if I need more puffs than usually (can make the heart race). Worth mentioning it at your next review?

Thanks he ended up having an attack yesterday so I think dizziness must be one of his symptoms. Will mention it tho at review as it could be that the blue one isn't helping with this.

My child has asthma and feels dizzy too. Heard it’s due to a lack of oxygen reaching the brain due to narrowed airways; fascinating. My child suffers from pollen allergies; partly to blame

I get dizzy sometimes as when my chest gets tight I breathe a little shallower so I’m taking in less oxygen. Hope your kid feels better soon
