Classification and common diseases
Dizziness is a common symptom, not a separate disease. Therefore, we can categorize the diseases that cause dizziness, so that we can have a deeper understanding of "dizziness".
1. Rotational vertigo can be divided into two categories of peripheral vertigo and central vertigo according to its etiology.
(1) Peripheral vertigo: this refers to vertigo caused by lesions of the inner ear labyrinth or vestibular nerve. Common in Meniere's disease < once translated Meniere's disease), labyrinthitis, drug vertigo (caused by streptomycin or gentamicin and other drugs) and vestibular neuritis.
(2) central vertigo: refers to the brainstem, cerebellum, brain and spinal cord lesions caused by vertigo. It is common in vertebral-basilar artery blood supply insufficiency, intracranial tumor, intracranial infection, multiple sclerosis, vertigo epilepsy and traumatic vertigo.
2. General vertigo
(1) cardiogenic vertigo: common in arrhythmia, cardiac insufficiency, etc..
(2) Vertigo of pulmonary origin: it can be seen in pulmonary insufficiency caused by various reasons.
(3)Ophthalmogenic vertigo: commonly seen in refractive error, fundus arteriosclerosis, hemorrhage and ocular muscle paralysis.
(4)Blood pressure vertigo: high or low blood pressure can cause vertigo.
(5) other: anemia, cervical spondylosis, acute fever, gastroenteritis, endocrine disorders and neurosis can cause dizziness
1. Anemia The elderly, such as dizziness, fatigue, pallor, should go to the hospital to check to see if anemia. If the elderly do not pay attention to nutritional care, it is easy to suffer from anemia. In addition, dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding and chronic inflammatory diseases in elderly patients can be secondary anemia. 2. High blood viscosity Hyperlipidemia and Thrombocytosis can cause high blood viscosity and slow blood flow, resulting in adequate blood supply to the brain and symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness and weakness. There are many reasons for hyperlipidemia, but the most important one is that the dietary structure is not rational. 3. Cerebral arteriosclerosis Patients feel dizzy and often suffer from insomnia, tinnitus, emotional instability, forgetfulness and numbness of limbs. Cerebral arteriosclerosis makes the inner diameter of blood vessels smaller, and the blood flow in the brain decreases, resulting in insufficient supply of blood and oxygen to the brain and causing dizziness. 4. Cervical spondylosis is often characterized by tightness in the neck, limitation of flexibility, occasional pain, numbness and coldness of the fingers, and a feeling of heaviness. Cervical spondylosis squeezes the vertebral artery in the neck, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, which is the main cause of dizziness caused by this disease. 5. Hypertension In addition to dizziness, hypertensive patients are often accompanied by head swelling, panic, irritability, tinnitus, insomnia and other discomforts. 6. Heart disease In the early stage of coronary heart disease, some people may feel headache, dizziness, weakness of the limbs, mental concentration. This is mainly due to atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries of the heart, resulting in insufficient blood supply and causing dizziness. 1. The best solution for dizziness is prevention. Elderly people should regularly make blood pressure, heart sound, heart rhythm, as well as blood routine, blood fat, blood viscosity, electroencephalogram, cerebral blood flow map, neck x-ray and other checks, to prevent the problem before it occurs.
What about dizziness?
Beijing Chaoyang District, Anzhen Xili Ms. Xu: I am 55 years old this year, in recent times, the right side of the face to feel very
numb, like playing anesthesia. Before because of dizziness to take a cervical spine film, film out of the doctor said it was okay,
not very strong, the doctor told me to pillow pillow a little lower.
Now I feel very sad about my head and neck, and the dizziness started in May this year, and it's been more than four months since I've been dizzy, may I ask
What's wrong with me? How to treat it?
Answer: Dr. Zhan Shuqin, deputy chief of neurology at Xuanwu Hospital in Beijing, believes that from the symptoms described by Ms. Xu
there are two issues to pay attention to: 1. Is the blood pressure normal? 2. Is there any obstacle to sleep? Ms. Xu is a middle-aged or elderly
female patient, and cervical spondylosis is also a common trigger for dizziness. Facial numbness is not related to cervical spondylosis and is usually associated with
brain symptoms. There are also many diseases that cause dizziness, and some common ones include insufficient blood supply to the vertebrobasilar artery, Meniere's
Disease, vegetative dysfunction, insomnia, and certain depressive and anxiety disorders. If the manifestation of transient
vertigo, vomiting, to pay attention to the cerebral blood supply insufficiency is common. If the long time dizziness, dizziness, with sleep is not
good, or accompanied by other physical and mental symptoms such as facial and limb numbness, neck pain, and even panic, shortness of breath
shortness, fatigue and other symptoms, if only in the internal medicine examination of all the difference between the disease to think of the vegetative nervous system dysfunction
(in the past, also known as neurosis). If accompanied by low mood, agitation, pessimism, beware of depression
disorder. Ms. Xu is advised to go to the neurology department of the hospital for relevant examinations to further find out the cause of her dizziness.

Method 7:
Exercise for dizziness
A new study shows that elders who are often dizzy can see a dramatic improvement in their situation by simply continuing to do some simple, easy exercises.
Joni, a psychologist at the University of Southampton in the UK, said in the latest issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine that exercise therapy can reduce the symptoms and discomfort of chronic vertigo, and that the earlier exercise therapy is begun, the better the results will be, ideally starting immediately after the first sign of dizziness.
She said dizziness is a common condition, usually caused by problems in the inner ear, but it can cause great inconvenience to patients, especially the elderly, such as being prone to falls, or being reluctant to go out or even unable to live independently for fear of falling. At present, there are few treatment options for vertigo other than prescription drugs with limited effects. In fact, some simple exercises, such as eye, head and body movements, can cure dizziness and can be done by anyone without any equipment, but doctors usually do not introduce them to their patients.
She led a study in which 170 patients with an average age of 60 and frequent dizziness were divided into two groups to receive either exercise training or general medical care; the exercise group was taught by a nurse to exercise for half a day. After a few weeks, the nurses interviewed each patient twice to offer advice and help boost confidence, and then tested each patient's condition at three and six months.
At three months, two-thirds of the exercise group showed a significant improvement in dizziness, compared with one-third of the "standard care group" at six months.
Joni said that patients in the exercise group had more incentives to participate in dizziness treatment, so they were more willing to do daily head exercises. Just getting the patients to really experience the benefits and drawbacks of exercise can help them continue to do dizziness treatments, she said.
1. Create a good living room environment. Room to the sun, room temperature to 18 ~ 20 ° C is appropriate, humidity to 60% is appropriate, the room should be ventilated often, to keep the indoor air fresh.
