I have a cold and my head feels dizzy

In daily life, dizziness and grogginess may occur in many cases. Some severe colds may last a little longer. To avoid symptoms such as drowsiness and confusion, take good warming measures and avoid catching cold. Dizziness and grogginess due to insufficient blood supply to the brain and compression from spinal diseases are all likely to occur. What are the specific causes? What are some good ways to effectively relieve them? The following is a detailed introduction.

Dizziness is a very common symptom. In addition to eardrum imbalance, it has many causes, such as drug effects, arrhythmia, etc. If you experience dizziness, in addition to trying to get as much rest as possible, you should also eat small meals frequently and avoid greasy foods, which can help relieve discomfort.

1) Dizziness can be divided into the following three symptoms:

1. Dizziness - The patient will feel that the surrounding scenery is spinning, and he himself may also be spinning.

2. Top-heavy and light-footed - there is no dizziness, but the head always feels heavy and the feet feel light-footed, and one cannot cheer up.

3. Blackness before - blurred vision or even temporary loss of consciousness.

Most people who suffer from dizziness will experience nausea, loss of appetite and even vomiting. At this time, you should pay attention to your diet, eat small meals frequently, avoid greasy foods, or take pills before eating, which can help alleviate symptoms.

2) Attention should be paid to persistent dizziness:

1. If dizziness is severe, you should try to stay in bed and rest. When getting in and out of bed, you should do it slowly because the balance system needs time to adapt. On the contrary, if the dizziness persists (especially if it lasts for more than a month), you should maintain proper exercise, because if you don’t move much at this time, it will cause the body’s functions to deteriorate and the balance system to become disordered, so you cannot just lie down and do nothing.

2. Get checked if you have dizziness for more than two weeks.

If the problem persists or is severe, you should see a doctor for further examination. Generally speaking, acute dizziness will last for one to two weeks at most and then disappear. If it lasts longer than that, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Patients usually have to undergo physical examinations of hemoglobin, blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar, etc., and may even have their hearing tested and a head computer scan done.

3) Why do you feel dizzy?

There are many reasons for dizziness, but they are generally as follows:

1. Middle ear and inner ear diseases - Various ear problems can cause dizziness, such as otitis media, Meniere's disease, etc. Common cold viruses can also invade the inner ear and cause problems, and even lead to vomiting.

2. Drug effects - some antihypertensive drugs, heart and diabetes drugs, and even cold sensitivity drugs may have this side effect.

3. Arrhythmia - Heart disease causes abnormal oxygen supply to the brain and causes dizziness, among which slow heartbeat has a greater impact.

4. Chronic diseases - If diabetes, bronchial disease, kidney disease, etc. are not well controlled, the above situation (such as low blood sugar) may also occur.

5. Anemia - During pregnancy or when women have heavy menstrual flow, the oxygen content in the blood will decrease, causing dizziness.
