A sudden bout of vertigo with spinning nausea and sweating may be neurogenic vertigo, including peripheral and central nervous vertigo.
Peripheral vertigo is vertigo caused by lesions of the inner ear labyrinth or vestibular organs. Common disorders include benign positional vertigo, Meniere’s disease, vestibular neuronitis, and labyrinthitis.
Central vertigo refers to vertigo caused by lesions of the brainstem, cerebellum, cerebrum and spinal cord, including cerebrovascular disease, encephalitis and brain tumors. It is usually not accompanied by tinnitus and hearing impairment.
Vertigo in both diseases is sudden and mostly accompanied by symptoms of vegetative nerve function, such as nausea, vomiting, panic, weak sweating, and constipation.
In addition, patients with anemia or low blood pressure or hypoglycemia may also experience sudden vertigo, nausea, and sweating.
If a sudden bout of dizziness, nausea and sweating occurs, and the symptoms continue to be unrelieved or recurring, it is recommended that the patient seek medical attention as soon as possible to complete the relevant examinations, to clarify the cause of the disease, and timely treatment to avoid delays in the condition.
