Chinese medicine prescription for dizziness

Even if life and work are very busy, people should pay great attention to physical health management. Otherwise, if you manage the disease only when it appears in your body, it will be very difficult to treat the disease at this time. Most of them suffer from vertigo, which is a brain neurological disease caused by excessive stress in life. The main symptom of vertigo is dizziness, so what are the traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for treating vertigo?

3. The difference between vertigo and cerebral infarction

When vertigo occurs, people often feel dizzy and sometimes experience nausea, vomiting, cold sweats, etc. It is important to note that vertigo is a symptom, not a disease.

Cerebral embolism is a brain disease that occurs suddenly, often when a person is resting or sleeping. The disease reaches its peak within a few hours or 1 to 2 days. You may experience headache, dizziness, tinnitus, hemiplegia, and difficulty swallowing.

The most common causes of vertigo

1. Side effects of drugs

Antidepressants such as ACE inhibitors and amitriptyline, which are high blood pressure medications, can lower blood pressure and induce dizziness. Some heart patients may become dehydrated and experience dizziness when taking diuretics. Sedatives inhibit the central nervous system and slow down brain activity, which is also a major factor causing dizziness. Decongestants that relieve nasal congestion cause blood vessels to constrict, affecting oxygen supply to the brain and causing dizziness.

2. Iron deficiency

Fatigue is a major symptom of anemia. Due to iron deficiency in the body, the red blood cells decrease, the oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin decreases, and the brain does not get enough blood oxygen, which causes dizziness.

3. Migraine

Professor Susan Haydon of the British Migraine Association said that dizziness is often a precursor to a migraine attack, which is caused by narrowing of blood vessels in the brain and reduced blood flow.

4. Full body scan

MRI scans may also cause vertigo. The body's balance is controlled by the inner ear. The strong magnetic field generated by MRI scans can cause imbalance in the inner ear balance organ, leading to vertigo.

5. Dehydration

The brain is mostly made up of water. Once the body is dehydrated, the brain will malfunction. When you are dehydrated, your blood viscosity increases, your body temperature rises, and your heart rate speeds up. Therefore, when you feel dizzy, try drinking a large glass of water.
