Advertisements

Dizziness or lightheadedness can be indirect symptoms of diverticulosis, particularly when the condition leads to dehydration, anemia, or other complications that affect blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain. Persistent diarrhea, for example, can result in dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, which can cause dizziness or lightheadedness.

They may recommend treatments to manage complications, such as dehydration or anemia, and suggest dietary and lifestyle changes to help prevent further episodes. (13)
