Can driving make you dizzy?

Lately, I’ve been feeling dizzy when I drive home from work. Not quite sure if it’s caused by driving or something else. Can driving cause dizziness?

Hope you feel better soon! Driving can make you dizzy, especially if you have Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD). However, if you are only experiencing dizziness after work, there may be other underlying issues. Identifying the cause will help you avoid being dizzy while driving in the future.
Here are some common causes of dizziness and suggestions to overcome them:
  • Anemia — Eat more iron-rich foods
  • Hypoglycemia — Have a fruit before you start driving
  • Dehydration — Keep drinking water throughout the day
  • Motion sickness — Take a Gravol 30 minutes before driving
  • Anxiety — Relax or meditate to help alleviate some anxiety
  • Fatigue — Try to get at least eight hours of sleep every night
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet can also help with dizziness. However, if the problem persists, seek medical advice immediately.
