Guide To The Symptoms Of Rhabdomyolysis

Dizziness And Lightheadedness

As discussed, a rhabdomyolysis patient experiences a decline in the functionality of their kidneys, and they may also experience heartbeat problems or dehydration due to the imbalance of electrolytes in their blood. When the heart has an irregular heartbeat from imbalanced electrolytes, it can cause less blood to be pumped up to the brain tissues. An individual can experience dehydration as a result of poorly functioning kidneys, which can also produce a situation in the body where not enough blood is being pumped to the brain tissues effectively. When an individual's brain tissues do not receive an adequate amount of blood, they also do not receive an adequate amount of oxygen. The cells in an affected individual's brain begin to shut down in conditions of low oxygen, causing them to feel dizzy or lightheaded as a result.
