Common Causes

Nervous system readjustment, poorer sleep, reduced food intake, and electrolyte imbalances may all lead to dizziness and fatigue.

What to Observe at Home First

Record when symptoms occur, whether they are accompanied by hand tremors/sweating/palpitations/hallucinations, and whether the person can eat and drink. Avoid self-administering unknown medications.

Signs That Require Prompt Medical Attention

If unsteadiness worsens, vomiting is frequent, confusion occurs, seizures develop, chest pain or shortness of breath appears, or there is a history of severe withdrawal, immediate medical evaluation is needed.
