Dizziness is defined as a range of sensations, like the feeling of faint, woozy, weak or unsteady. It creates a false sense that everything around you is spinning or moving. One can feel dizzy due to many reasons sometimes due to weakness or dehydration. That is one of the reasons it is hard to differentiate after a coronavirus infection if the dizziness is caused due to COVID or some other reasons. If the episode of dizziness is frequent after the COVID then it can be a side-effect of the viral infection. As per the NHS, overexertion can make lightheadedness worse and may even interfere with your day to day activity.

Overexertion may make your episode of dizziness even worse. You may feel slightly off-balance, unable to walk or stand properly. In some cases, a person may even experience ringing in the ears, reduced hearing, eye strain and headaches. But the dizziness is not something you should be scared of unless it is acute. The feeling of dizziness comes and goes, only in rare cases, it may stay for a longer time. Only when you feel dizzy all the time and it starts affecting your day to the task, you should consult your doctor.
