Dizziness from lifting heavy objects may be due to cervicogenic vertigo, vestibular dysfunction, insufficient cerebral blood supply and other factors.
1. Cervicogenic vertigo: If the patient suffers from cervical spondylolisthesis, it will generally compress blood vessels or nerves. When the patient lifts heavy objects for a long time, excessive force can easily cause vertebral artery compression, resulting in insufficient blood supply or ischemia of the vertebrobasilar artery in the brain, leading to dizziness.
2. Vestibular dysfunction: If the patient suffers from vestibular neuritis or Meniere’s syndrome, the change in head position or exertion will cause stimulation of the vestibular function, resulting in dizziness when lifting heavy objects.
3. Subclavian artery steal syndrome: moving the upper limb on the affected side can induce symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the vertebrobasilar artery, such as episodic dizziness, visual rotation, difficulty in swallowing, fainting, etc. Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of dizziness, but it is also the most common form of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the most common cause, followed by specific or non-specific arteritis.
If the patient for a long time to carry heavy objects dizziness symptoms, need to pay attention to, under the guidance of the doctor to improve the relevant examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and actively carry out treatment.
