On Senzel leaving game 1st inning because dizzy, confused. People throw out word Vertigo. Another word is Panic Attack. Hard for people to just look and say what it is, including me. Votto had these issues his first years, and announcers said he stayed with a family in area and that helped. I'm sure doctors can come up with many reasons for why people become dizzy. A cold or Flu is one way. A fever. Sex can make a person dizzy. Booze, Drugs by all means. Not eating right. Not getting enough sleep. Asthma or breathing problems. Excessive heat or poor breathing air. Many things can make a person dizzy besides Vertigo, but sports seems to use Vertigo a lot. Oh, I left out concussion which is very much sports. ......Reds played a late night game and then a day game in which Senzel had to leave at start of game. Now if I say hangover, people will get mad, but some people can get a hangover from just one or two beers. Or with the day game, maybe he didn't eat right, or get enough sleep. I don't know, nor do any fans, but I think it is a stretch to assume Vertigo every time a player gets dizzy. I do hope a doctor is consulted for him, because something happened to where he wasn't able to go the day after a night game on the road. It could just be a 24 hour bug/ cold-flu. It may be Vertigo. I hope they use the day off to consult a doctor, for Senzel's sake, not the fans.
I'm no expert. I am 64. I have had asthma most of my life as a kid and it came back in my 30's. I've had cold & flu. I've had hangovers as most people if they are honest. I've had panic attacks as did Micky Mantle who was a big tough guy. I can say that younger I had sex with women for long periods of time that left me dizzy. So, my non medical view is many things can make you dizzy. Was Senzel the player that had the concussion a week or two ago ? It has been very hot on the field lately. They played a night game and then an early day game. Something happened, and I hope they consult a doctor, even if all he says is drink more water, which may be the answer, drink more water. I have found the best thing for dizziness is preventive medicine in getting enough sleep, eating right, drinking more water. The way Senzel could hardly walk from 1st base to dugout, a doctor is needed. For his sake I hope it is nothing major such as anuerysm. Hopefully there isn't that much wrong with him and just better rest and better eating fixes him up. I left out allergies. Maybe a med he is allergic to, or caffeine, or pollen in the air, an allergy he isn't aware he has. It's safe to say not all dizzy situations are Vertigo Hitchcock movie. I'm sure anybody reading this has had a cold or flu so dizzy they could not get around the house, that does not mean you had Vertigo.
Best of luck to Senzel, and I hope it's a minor thing with minor solutions, such as drinking more water, getting more sleep, eating right, basic stuff. If he is same guy that tipped over in dugout in last weeks with concussion, one more reason to consult a doctor. Votto has gone though this, so maybe he can help.
