Sudden dizziness and vomiting in the elderly may be caused by abnormal blood pressure, cerebrovascular disease, and ear-source disease.
1. Abnormal blood pressure: Elevated blood pressure will cause an increase in cerebral blood perfusion, causing the opposite symptoms, such as dizziness, accompanied by headache and vomiting symptoms; low blood pressure will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, inducing dizziness, nausea and vomiting symptoms.
2. Cerebrovascular diseases: for example, ischemia of the posterior circulation, causing dizziness, accompanied by symptoms of vomiting, as well as blurred vision and numbness and weakness of the limbs.
3. Otogenic diseases: for example, otogenic stones or Meniere’s disease, which may cause dizziness, accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital in time, after clarifying the cause of the disease, targeted treatment.
