What causes dizziness and eye swelling?

The human body is made up of many organs, which are very complex but closely connected. In life, dizziness and blurred vision are a very common phenomenon, which can be caused by many factors. Most people think that it may be due to lack of rest or something, but in fact, this common phenomenon may sometimes be caused by illness. For some middle-aged and elderly people, dizziness and swelling of eyes are more common problems. Let's learn about it below.

What causes swollen eyes and dizziness?

One is rotational vertigo, which is mostly caused by dysfunction of the vestibular nervous system and cerebellum. It is mainly characterized by a feeling of tipping over, with a feeling of oneself swaying or the scenery rotating.

The second is general dizziness, which is mostly caused by certain systemic diseases, and is mainly characterized by a feeling of dizziness and a feeling of heaviness in the head and lightness in the feet. Classification and common diseases Dizziness is a common symptom, not an independent disease. Therefore, we can classify and describe the diseases that cause dizziness so that everyone can have a deeper understanding of "dizziness".

1. Anemia: If the elderly experience dizziness, fatigue, or pale complexion, they should go to the hospital for a check-up to see if they have anemia. If the elderly do not pay attention to nutritional health, they are likely to suffer from anemia. In addition, elderly patients with indigestion, peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding and chronic inflammatory diseases may all develop secondary anemia.

2. High blood viscosity Hyperlipidemia, thrombocythemia, etc. can cause high blood viscosity and slow blood flow, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain and symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and weakness. There are many reasons for high blood lipids, the most important of which is unreasonable diet structure.

3. Patients with cerebral arteriosclerosis feel dizzy and often suffer from insomnia, tinnitus, emotional instability, forgetfulness, and numbness in the limbs. Cerebral arteriosclerosis reduces the inner diameter of blood vessels, reduces blood flow in the brain, causes insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the brain, and causes dizziness.

4. Cervical spondylosis often causes tightness in the neck, limited flexibility, occasional pain, numbness, coldness, and a feeling of heaviness in the fingers. Cervical spondylosis compresses the cervical vertebral arteries, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain, which is the main cause of dizziness caused by this disease.

5. Hypertension In addition to dizziness, patients with hypertension often also experience discomfort such as headache, palpitations, irritability, tinnitus, and insomnia.

6. Heart disease In the early stages of coronary heart disease, some people may experience headaches, dizziness, weakness in the limbs, and difficulty concentrating. Dizziness is mainly caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries of the heart, resulting in insufficient blood supply.
