Vertigo is a common disease in life. It poses a potential threat to human health and directly affects the patient's normal life. In order to treat vertigo by taking medication, you actually have to find out the cause of the vertigo first so that you can prescribe the right medicine in time. Many drugs that temporarily relieve vertigo cannot actually completely eradicate the disease, so you still need to be careful. Vertigo is the most common clinical syndrome. With the aging of the population, the incidence of this disease is increasing and has received widespread attention from the medical community at home and abroad. Smith (1993) reported that vertigo was the third most common symptom in outpatient clinics. It involves multiple disciplines and most people experience it at some point in their lives. The symptoms of the disease are frequent dizziness, nausea, vomiting, cold sweats and other autonomic nervous system disorders. One thing to note is that vertigo usually reflects a lesion in the vestibular area. It is a symptom, not a disease. There are two main types of vertigo: true vertigo and false vertigo. Cerebrovascular vertigo In summer and winter, due to the increase in blood viscosity, various cerebrovascular accidents are prone to occur, leading to cerebrovascular vertigo. You should pay attention to drinking more water and avoid sudden changes in body position, such as getting up suddenly to go to the toilet at night, which can easily cause cerebrovascular vertigo. Once it occurs, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. After diagnosis, you can be given appropriate vasodilators, antiplatelet aggregation drugs (such as aspirin), anticoagulants, etc. Brain tumor vertigo This type of vertigo usually develops slowly, with mild initial symptoms and is difficult to detect. For mild vertigo that gradually appears, if it is accompanied by symptoms such as unilateral tinnitus, deafness, or other signs of damage to adjacent cranial nerves, such as numbness and decreased sensation on the affected side of the face, peripheral facial paralysis, etc., you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible, to get a clear diagnosis and early surgical treatment. Cervicogenic vertigo You should pay attention to your body posture when working or studying, and move your neck appropriately after working at a desk for a long time. The pillow should be of appropriate height and should not be too high to avoid cervicogenic vertigo. Rehabilitation methods are often used in treatment, such as cervical occipital traction, massage therapy, acupuncture, etc. Severe cases require surgical treatment. Vertigo caused by other diseases For endocrine vertigo, hypertensive vertigo, and ocular vertigo, the primary disease should be actively treated, such as controlling blood pressure and treating ophthalmic diseases. Vertigo can be relieved naturally based on the recovery of the primary disease. Neurological vertigo For vertigo caused by mental factors, the patient's anxiety should be relieved first. |
