When I close my eyes, the world starts to spin

Many people feel dizzy every time they close their eyes. In fact, this symptom is a kind of dizziness, which is mainly due to poor diet recently, often eating less or not eating, hypoglycemia, not liking to eat breakfast, and being emotionally excited recently. These are all reasons that cause dizziness when closing your eyes. You need to get checked as soon as possible, and pay attention to rest when necessary to ensure good sleep.

Etiology and pathology

1. Internal injury caused by emotions and excessive yang in the body, coupled with excessive anger, can cause hyperactivity of liver yang, yang rising and wind moving, resulting in dizziness; or due to long-term depression and anger, qi stagnation turns into fire, which consumes liver yin, hyperactivity of liver yang, yang rising and wind moving, disturbing the clear mind and causing dizziness.

2. Improper diet can damage the spleen and stomach, weaken the spleen and stomach, cause no source for the production of qi and blood, and cause the clear orifices to be malnourished, resulting in dizziness; or addiction to alcohol, fatty foods, hunger, fullness, and fatigue can damage the spleen and stomach, causing dysfunction of healthy functioning, so that food and water cannot be transformed into essence, moisture accumulates to form phlegm, phlegm and dampness block the middle part of the body, and turbid yin cannot descend, causing dizziness.

3. Trauma, Surgery After head trauma or surgery, qi stagnation and blood stasis may block the clear orifices and cause vertigo.

4. Physical weakness, long-term illness, blood loss, overwork - The kidneys are the foundation of your constitution, storing essence and producing marrow. If you are born with deficiency, the kidney essence is insufficient, or you have kidney deficiency due to old age, or long-term illness damages the kidneys, or you have excessive sexual intercourse, then the kidney essence will be deficient and cannot produce marrow. The brain is the sea of ​​marrow, and if the sea of ​​marrow is insufficient, both the upper and lower parts will be deficient, and dizziness will occur. Or the kidney yin is deficient and the liver is not nourished, resulting in insufficient liver yin, inability of yin to control yang, and hyperactivity of liver yang, causing dizziness. Dizziness can occur after a serious illness, a long illness, or blood loss, which causes the person to become too weak to recover, or overwork, which causes the decline of qi and blood, or both qi and blood deficiency. If the qi is deficient, the clear yang cannot develop, and if the blood is deficient, the brain loses nourishment, all of which can cause dizziness.

The disease is located in the Qingqiao, and is caused by deficiency of Qi and blood, insufficient kidney essence leading to emptiness of the brain marrow, malnutrition of the Qingqiao, or hyperactivity of liver yang, upward flow of phlegm and fire, and blood stasis blocking the Qingqiao, which disturb the Qingqiao and cause dizziness. It is closely related to the liver, spleen, and kidney. Most cases of vertigo are caused by deficiency, so Zhang Jingyue said that "eight or nine out of ten cases are caused by deficiency", such as liver and kidney yin deficiency, internal liver wind movement, qi and blood deficiency, lack of nourishment to the clear orifices, kidney essence deficiency, and brain marrow deficiency. Vertigo is mostly caused by obstruction of phlegm and turbidity, abnormal ascending and descending, phlegm and fire qi reversal, invasion of the clear orifices, stagnation of blood, and obstruction of the clear orifices. During the onset of vertigo, various causes and pathogenesis can influence and transform each other, resulting in a mixture of deficiency and excess, or damage to yin and yang, leading to deficiency of both yin and yang. Liver wind and phlegm fire disturb the clear orifices, and further development may cover the clear orifices, block the meridians, and cause a stroke; or sudden reversal of Qi may cause the clear orifices to be temporarily closed or malnourished, causing fainting.
