Why can you still get dizzy when your eyes are closed?

Two main things control your body's balance.  Your inner ear or your equilibrium, and a part of your brain in the back of your head called the cerebellum.  These centers tell your brain what position your head and body is in.  When the fluid of your equilibrum gets disturbed, your brain gets the message that your heads in one position, when it's in another. This is what causes visual dizziness (room spinning).  Your body doesn't know how you are positioned and your visual senses  are effected because you brain's getting different messages.  Things don't add up when you're dizzy and your body's position control centers are no longer working on the same page.  A lot of this dizziness is a good sign of an inner ear problem, as well as many other conditions.

could be signs of dehydration, especially if the dizziness occurs when you stand up rapidly or stand up after being in a crouching position. do an experiment where you make a conscious effort to drink more water (pee nearly clear by noon and stay that way until bedtime) and see if it helps!

Please see your doctor. There are many disorders that can cause this i.e. low/high blood sugar, blood pressure, vertigo and many, many more. You need to have some blood tests and evaluation by a professional.

It could be the beginning of a panic attack.  Is this followed by unhappy thoughts and then general shakiness?  If not, this could be a number of things besides a panic attack.  Analyze the food you just ate before the dizziness started.  I get these symptoms from caffeine in any form...coffee, pop, even tea.  My body just will not tolerate caffeine in any form and when I ingest caffeine I get the same symptoms.  Also, heavy sugar on an empty stomach can do the same thing.  You could also have an inner ear infection.  Your ear won't hurt but your equilibrium will be shot.  I also have had panic attacks and they began this very same way.  However, panic attacks usually begin this way but get a lot worse.  The classic panic attack does not stop will just getting dizzy and tired.  You need to describe these symptoms to a doctor.  There are too many things that could be happening here medically.

Dizziness, or vertigo, is sometimes caused by excessive motion, like a carnival ride going too fast. Your brain cannot assimilate all the sensations that are going on to help you keep your balance. So, if you eat a couple of elephant ears, a pronto pup and a burger and chase it down with a Coke, then you get on the scrambler, your brain is going to try to help you keep your balance while you are on the scrambler. You will "hurl your lunch" because your brain is busy helping your body keep it's balance. \n\nDizziness can also be a symptom of the flu or some other ailment. Throwing up can just be because your body is run down and it is rejecting the work of digesting your food because it needs to concentrate on whatever it is that is making you sick, like the flu or an infection or something.

Quick answer... there are many causes, but one of them can be anemia, or internal bleeding, or the side effects of some medications. Low blood pressure can make you feel dizzy, or you can faint if you stand too quickly after sitting or lying down.

I have had this many times and it sounds like an anxiety attack. You become so afraid that you start breathing fast and hyperventilate. I was told to hold my breath and count to ten, after i had slowed my breathing down I didn't feel dizzy any more. I thought I was going to die when this started happening  to me and it seemed to get worse each time. When I realized I could control it and it was me being afraid that caused the problem, it has not happened again for several years. I am not a doctor, but these same symptoms happened to me.

It could be vertigo, I had that after an accident, it is due to the inner ear. There is medication for it.

Lightheadedness happens when there is not enough blood getting to the brain. This can happen if there is a sudden drop in your blood pressure or if you are dehydrated from vomiting, diarrhea, fever, or other causes. Many people, especially as they get older, experience lightheadedness if they get up too quickly from a lying or seated position. Lightheadedness often accompanies the flu, common cold, or allergies.\n\nMore serious conditions that can lead to lightheadedness include heart problems (such as abnormal heart rhythm or heart attack), stroke, and severe drop in blood pressure (shock). If any of these serious disorders is present, you will usually have additional symptoms like chest pain, a feeling of a racing heart, loss of speech, change in vision, or other symptoms.\n\nThe most common causes of vertigo are benign positional vertigo and labyrinthitis. Benign positional vertigo is vertigo that happens when you change the position of your head. Labyrinthitis usually follows a cold or flu and is caused by a viral infection to the inner ear. Meniere's disease is another common inner ear problem. It causes vertigo, loss of balance, and ringing in the ears.\n\nMuch less commonly, vertigo or feeling unsteady/off balance is a sign of stroke, multiple sclerosis, seizures, a brain tumor, or a bleed in your brain. In such conditions, other symptoms usually accompany the vertigo or imbalance.

You need to check your blood pressure. Low blood pressure may cause dizziness when you sit suddenly after waking up. Buy sea salt and use it (just keep under tongue) more often during the day. That should help a lot.

No. This is actually a major problem for astronauts. In your inner ear, attached to your cochlea (the snail looking thing on ear diagrams) you have three looped tubes called semicircular canals. There is fluid in these canals and they're lined with little hairs. When you tip your head to the side, the fluid moves with gravity and it moves the hairs, sending a message that your brain uses along with visual imput to tell you your spatial orientation.\n\nIn zero gravity, the fluid sort of floats around (along with the rest of you) and its easy to become dizzy and disoriented. After awhile, your brain adjusts, but, then when you come back to Earth, you have similar problems because your brain had gotten used to the constant, mixed up messages it was getting. People get sea sick because the message their inner ear is sending to their brains doesn't match the visual imput. The same thing happens to Astronauts.

Yes it can cause respiratory failure which would result in passing out.I had it happen to me but did get warning signs before it became serious to the point that I passed out. If you get dizzy sit down immediately and begin pursed lip breathing, count to 2 while breathing in and 4 as you exhale and try to think of nothing else but this, if your alone immediately dial 911 if not have someone call for you. Best to err on the safe side if this appears a possibility given how your feeling.  The success rates are pretty high when you reach emergency care. Its quite uneasy but try not to panic , remember the pursed lip breathing and do it .But the overall best thing is know your limitations , an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure regarding this. Don't overexert yourself to the point of dizzyness and see your doctor regarding this.

Our equilibrium is controlled by the semicircular canals in the inner ear. The semicircular canals are filled with fluid and together, make up something called the labyrinth. The canals are lined with tiny hairs that sense movement of the fluid in the semicircular canals. These tiny hairs then send messages to the brain that give information about the position of the head. \n\nNotice that while your spinning, you don't feel dizzy...It's only after you stop.  Once you stop spinning, the fluid flows back to the normal places and it does it quickly.  Too quickly for your brain to know exactly where your head is.  The feeling of dizziness is actually a nerve impulse from your brain to the rest of your body prompting your reflex to widen your legs and reach out for something to keep you from falling.  Just like pain is a nerve impulse prompting your reflex to pull back from the source of injury.\n\nIf you think about, all of the sensations we have are just different kinds of impulses that we are familiar with and in English we have given those impulses names: Cold, Hot, Dizzy, Pain, Tickle, Itch...All generate different messages from the brain to the body, each distinct from the others.\n\nNote- That's different from Vertigo...

It could be a cause of low blood pressure so try getting some sleep and rest. Eat properly. Have a right diet, because there are many causes of dizziness. Hope that helps. :)

Yes, or it could be any number of things. Dehydration, allergies, blood pressure, low blood sugar, just about anything. If it is severe or persists for more than a few days, make an appointment and talk with your doc about it, there are meds to treat dizziness.
