Feeling dizzy or lightheadedness

Feeling dizzy or lightheadedness

Feeling dizzy or lightheadedness is the condition in which the suffering person experiences fainting or feel closer to passing out as the brain lacks the required amount of glucose in the form of fuel for the working of brain cells and tissues. Hence, the person experiences the condition of dizziness or faintness. The brain cells start causing malfunctioning as they are short on the supply of energy, i.e., glucose, so there is a feeling of lightheadedness. In the severe cases of hypoglycemia, there is the occurrence of loss of consciousness in the patients. Eating or drinking a starchy food can readily help in bringing back the glucose levels to normal range.
