What is the effective way to treat dizziness?

Dizziness can have adverse effects on our health, life and work, so of course we must pay attention to understanding the cause and then treat it symptomatically. Usually, conservative treatment methods are adopted for the onset of vertigo. Pay attention to rest, avoid excessive fatigue, and relieve your mood.

1. Treatment of the cause

(1) Vertigo caused by reversible damage to vestibular function

This type has a better prognosis, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and serous labyrinthitis. Treatment should be targeted at the cause. Once the cause is eliminated, vertigo disappears and vestibular function can be restored.

(2) Vertigo caused by one-time irreversible damage to vestibular function

For example, in cases of suppurative labyrinthitis, sudden deafness, vestibular neuronitis, etc., although the cause has been eliminated, the labyrinth or vestibular function is completely destroyed and the vestibular function cannot be restored. It is necessary to rely on the vestibular center to compensate and eliminate vertigo.

(3) Fluctuating or irreversible vestibular function damage

2. Symptomatic treatment

(1) Conservative treatment for vertigo

Choose the most comfortable position, avoid sound and light stimulation, and relieve mental worries.

(2) Vestibular sedatives

Promethazine (Phenergan), diazepam (Valium), etc.

(3) Anti-vomiting preparations

Atropine, scopolamine.
