Symptom 10. Dizziness: The World’s Unexpected Tilts
In the realm of sensations, dizziness stands out for its disorienting nature. When linked to monoclonal gammopathy, it serves as a warning bell, signaling that not everything is as it should be. It’s not just about feeling lightheaded; it’s about the world tilting on its axis when least expected.
The onset can be sudden. One moment, everything’s clear, and the next, there’s a sense of unsteadiness, a wavering that’s hard to shake off. For some, it feels like being on a boat, the ground swaying beneath their feet.
Dizziness, in this context, can stem from various factors. From reduced blood flow due to a decrease in red blood cells to the body’s reaction to the proliferation of abnormal plasma cells, the roots of this symptom are diverse.(10)
