Abstract

Numerous factors can contribute to dizziness in the elderly. Among the most significant reasons are sleep disorders. Nocturia is a factor that influences the quality of sleep and is more common in the elderly. Getting a diagnosis for the nocturia, which may include behavior adjustment and concurrent drug use, helps lessen waking up to urinate at night, and resulting in an improvement in quality of life and reduce in symptoms of dizziness.
