Many people experience dizziness every day, which is not only caused by the weather, but may also be due to some problems inside the body. It is generally a functional brain disorder, which will have a certain impact on people's life and work. Neurological diseases, ear diseases, internal medicine diseases, anemia and cerebral arteriosclerosis can all cause dizziness, which should be taken seriously and treated in time. 1. Dizziness Dizziness is a common functional brain disorder and one of the common clinical symptoms. It causes feelings of dizziness, head swelling, heaviness, shaking in the brain, blurred vision, etc. Dizziness can be caused by many reasons, the most common of which are febrile diseases, hypertension, cerebral arteriosclerosis, craniocerebral trauma syndrome, neurosis, etc. In addition, it is also seen in anemia, arrhythmia, heart failure, hypotension, drug poisoning, uremia, asthma, etc. Dizziness is also common in the early stages of depression. Dizziness can occur alone, but is often accompanied by headaches. When dizziness is accompanied by impaired balance or spatial orientation, the patient feels that the surrounding environment or himself is rotating, moving or shaking. Occasional dizziness or dizziness due to changes in body position will not be a big problem. However, if you feel dizzy for a long time, it may be a precursor to a serious illness and should be taken seriously. 2. Common Causes Nervous system diseases, ear diseases, medical diseases such as hypertension, colds, cervical vertebrae degeneration, anemia, high blood viscosity, cerebral arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, etc. 3. Common symptoms Dizziness, swelling of the head, light-headedness, shaking brain, blurred vision, accompanied by fatigue, pale complexion, insomnia, tinnitus, emotional instability, forgetfulness, etc. 4. Causes and common diseases Common causes of dizziness include: 1. Nervous system diseases Such as cerebral ischemic lesions, cerebellar lesions, brain lesions, brain trauma, certain types of epilepsy, etc. In addition, patients with autonomic dysfunction and certain neuroses also often feel dizzy. 2. Ear diseases For example, ear diseases may affect balance and cause dizziness. 3. Internal medicine diseases Such as hypertension, hypotension, various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, anemia, infection, poisoning, hypoglycemia, etc. 4. Cold Sometimes a cold may cause dizziness. 5. Cervical vertebrae degeneration The main cause of dizziness is the growth, deformation, and degeneration of the cervical vertebrae caused by long-term poor posture or sleeping position, tightening of the neck muscles, and obstruction of arterial blood supply, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain. The patient often experiences tightness in the neck, limited flexibility, occasional pain, numbness and coldness of the scalp and fingers, shoulder pain, a feeling of heaviness, and even nausea and palpitations. 6. Anemia If dizziness is accompanied by fatigue and pale complexion, the possibility of anemia should be considered. Patients with indigestion, peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding and chronic inflammatory diseases may all develop anemia. 7. High blood viscosity Hyperlipidemia, thrombocythemia and other conditions can increase blood viscosity and slow blood flow, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, and easily leading to symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and weakness. Currently, the incidence of this type of disease is on the rise. 8. Cerebral arteriosclerosis The patient feels dizzy and often suffers from insomnia, tinnitus, emotional instability, forgetfulness, and numbness in the limbs. Cerebral arteriosclerosis reduces the inner diameter of cerebral blood vessels, reduces blood flow in the brain, causes insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the brain, and causes dizziness. The clinical characteristics are three major symptoms: dizziness, sleep disorders, and memory loss, as well as occipital headache, mild paresis, speech disorders, and irritability. The disease generally develops slowly. The characteristic of this type of dizziness is that it is easy to occur or worsen when the body position changes. 9. Heart disease, coronary heart disease In the early stages of the disease, symptoms are still mild. Some people may not experience obvious discomfort such as chest tightness, palpitations, shortness of breath, etc. They may only feel headache, dizziness, weakness in the limbs, difficulty concentrating, tinnitus, or forgetfulness. Heart diseases such as cardiac arrest, paroxysmal tachycardia, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, etc. can lead to acute cerebral ischemia, with symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, stomach discomfort, and syncope. 10. Drug poisoning Poisoning by streptomycin, neomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin, etc. is the most common. In addition to dizziness, patients also suffer from vertigo and sensorineural hearing loss caused by cochlear nerve damage. Chronic lead poisoning often manifests as neurasthenia syndrome, with dizziness, headache, insomnia, forgetfulness, fatigue, and nightmares as the main symptoms, as well as hypothermia and loss of appetite. |
