Ten causes of dizziness
Dizziness, many people think it is a minor problem, dizziness when hungry, dizziness around the period, dizziness when standing up after squatting for a long time. In general, occasional dizziness or dizziness due to a change in position is not a big problem and should not be a major concern. However, if you are dizzy for a long time, you should pay attention to it, because long-term dizziness or frequent dizziness may be a precursor to serious illness.
Dizziness is a comprehensive condition that is a clinical manifestation of many diseases. The following causes of dizziness are common.
1, neurological lesions: such as cerebral ischemic lesions, cerebellar lesions, brain lesions, traumatic brain injury, certain types of epilepsy, etc. In addition, patients with plant nerve dysfunction and certain neurological disorders may also often feel dizzy.
2, Ear diseases: such as diseases in the ear that affect the balance and cause dizziness.
3, internal diseases: such as hypertension, hypotension, various cardiovascular diseases, anemia, infection, poisoning, hypoglycemia, etc.
4, cold: sometimes a cold may be accompanied by symptoms of dizziness.
5, cervical bone degeneration: due to long-term posture or poor sleeping posture, resulting in cervical vertebrae hyperplasia, deformation, degeneration, tightening of the neck muscles, arterial blood supply is blocked so that the brain blood supply is insufficient, is the main original leisure of dizziness often neck tightness, limited flexibility, occasional pain,: F finger numbness, cold, a sense of heaviness.
6, anemia: If there is dizziness accompanied by weakness and pallor, the possibility of anemia should be considered. In a healthy state, the amount of hematopoietic tissue present in the body as well as the quality and quantity of hematopoiesis has declined in the elderly, and the aging of the red blood cells themselves makes their utilization of iron much less than before. Therefore, the elderly are prone to anemia if they do not pay attention to nutritional care. In addition, digestive dia; Liang, peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding and patients with chronic inflammatory diseases can be secondary to anemia.
7, high blood viscosity: hyperlipidemia, thrombocytosis, etc. can increase blood viscosity and slow blood flow, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, which can easily lead to fatigue, dizziness, weakness and other symptoms. There are many causes of hyperlipidemia, the most important one is the unreasonable structure of diet, patients eat a lot of high-fat and cholesterol food, and do not like to exercise. At present, the incidence of this type of disease has an increasing trend.
8, cerebral arteriosclerosis disease: patients feel dizzy, and often insomnia, tinnitus, emotional instability, forgetfulness, numbness of the limbs. Cerebral arteriosclerosis makes the internal diameter of cerebral blood vessels smaller, and blood flow in the brain decreases, resulting in insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the brain, causing dizziness.
9, heart disease, coronary heart disease in the early stage, the symptoms are still light, someone may not have chest tightness, palpitations, shortness of breath and other significant discomfort, only feel headache, dizziness, weakness of the limbs, mental concentration is not easy, tinnitus or forgetfulness, etc.. The main reason for dizziness at this time is atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries of the heart, which makes the lumen thinner and narrower, causing ischemia and lack of oxygen to the heart. And insufficient blood supply to the heart can cause insufficient blood supply and cause dizziness.
10, clinical statistics show that the rate of insomnia caused by migraine patients is about 65%, for this type of patient groups, in the medical above, the use of pure Chinese medicine preparation Malaise western medicine glutamate for the combination of Chinese and Western medicine treatment can achieve more significant and ideal results.
The best solution for dizziness is prevention. For example, quit smoking and alcohol, avoid raw, cold, greasy and too salty and spicy food; eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, bean sprouts, melons, black fungus, celery, water chestnuts, beans, milk, fish, shrimp, etc.; appropriate physical activity, maintain a happy and calm state of mind, etc.
Six major causes of dizziness in the elderly
1, anemia elderly people who have dizziness, weakness, pale performance, should go to the hospital to check to see if the basin blood. In a healthy state, the amount of hematopoietic tissue present in the body of the elderly as well as the quality and quantity of hematopoiesis has declined, and the aging of the red blood cells themselves makes their utilization of iron much less than before. Therefore, if the elderly do not pay attention to nutritional care, it is easy to suffer from anemia. In addition, anemia can be secondary to indigestion, peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding and chronic inflammatory diseases in elderly patients.
2. High blood viscosity, hyperlipidemia and thrombocytosis can increase blood viscosity and slow blood flow, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain and symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness and weakness. There are many causes of hyperlipidemia, the most important one is the unreasonable structure of diet, patients eat a lot of high-fat and cholesterol food, and do not like to exercise. At present, the incidence of this type of disease has a rising trend.
3, cerebral arteriosclerosis patients feel dizzy, and often insomnia, tinnitus, emotional instability, forgetfulness, and numbness of the limbs. Cerebral arteriosclerosis makes the internal diameter of cerebral blood vessels smaller, and blood flow in the brain decreases, resulting in insufficient blood supply and oxygen supply to the brain, causing dizziness.
4, cervical spondylosis Often neck tightness, limited flexibility, occasional pain, numbness and coldness of the fingers, and a feeling of heaviness. Cervical spine hyperplasia squeezes the vertebral artery in the neck, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain, which is the main cause of dizziness in this disease.
5, hypertension hypertension patients in addition to dizziness, but also often accompanied by head swelling, panic, irritability, tinnitus, insomnia and other discomforts.
6, heart disease early coronary heart disease, the symptoms are still light, someone may not have chest tightness, palpitations, shortness of breath and other significant discomfort, only feel headache, dizziness, weakness of the limbs, mental concentration, tinnitus or forgetfulness. The main reason for dizziness at this time is atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries of the heart, which makes the lumen thinner and narrower, causing ischemia and lack of oxygen to the heart. And insufficient blood supply to the heart can cause insufficient blood supply and cause dizziness.
Chinese medicine believes that the cause of this disease is mostly due to emotional and dietary injuries, as well as blood loss, trauma, and excessive exertion. The disease is located in the clear orifices and is caused by deficiency of brain marrow, loss of nourishment of the clear orifices, phlegm and fire, and blood stasis, and is related to dysfunction of the liver, spleen and kidney. Clinically, the actual evidence is mostly seen in the period of vertigo, and the four types are hyperactivity of liver-yang, inflammation of liver-fire, phlegm-fire, and stasis of blood blocking the orifices, respectively, with Tianma and Hooked Vine Tang to calm liver and subdue yang and nourish liver and kidney; Gentian and Liver Diarrhea Tang to clear liver and fire and clear damp-heat; Hexia and Atractylodes Tianma Tang to dry dampness and dispel phlegm and strengthen spleen and stomach; and Tongkou and Blood Soup to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis and activate orifices. Deficiency evidence is mostly seen in the remission period, with Qi and Blood deficiency and Liver and Kidney Yin deficiency being the two most common types. Since the pathological manifestation of vertigo is the mutual transformation of deficiency and actual evidence, or a mixture of deficiency and actuality, generally speaking, the acute cases are more on the actual side and can be treated by extinguishing wind and submerging yang, clearing fire and phlegm, invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, etc.; the remission cases are more on the deficiency side and should be treated by nourishing qi and blood, benefiting kidney, nourishing liver and strengthening spleen.
