How does your body react when you get dizzy?

When you get dizzy, your body may experience a range of reactions, including a sensation of spinning or lightheadedness. This can trigger a fight-or-flight response, leading to increased heart rate and blood pressure as your body tries to stabilize itself. Additionally, you might feel nausea, unsteadiness, or even faintness, as your brain struggles to interpret sensory signals from your inner ear, eyes, and proprioceptors. These reactions are the body's way of coping with a disruption in balance and spatial orientation.
