What's going on with dizziness and weakness in limbs?

When we often feel dizzy and weak in the limbs, we cannot ignore it, because it may also be a signal of some diseases in the body, such as anemia, high blood viscosity, or people with high blood pressure are likely to show these symptoms.

1. Anemia: Symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, pale complexion, etc. It is mainly caused by indigestion and insufficient nutrition intake. Recommended reading: How to treat dizziness in the elderly?

2. High blood viscosity: Hyperlipidemia, thrombocythemia, etc. can increase blood viscosity and slow blood flow, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain and symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and weakness. There are many reasons for hyperlipidemia, the most important of which is the unreasonable dietary structure. Patients eat a lot of high-fat and cholesterol foods and do not like to exercise. Currently, the incidence of this type of disease is on the rise.

3. Cerebral arteriosclerosis: Patients feel dizzy and often suffer from insomnia, tinnitus, emotional instability, forgetfulness, and in severe cases, numbness in the limbs. Cerebral arteriosclerosis reduces the inner diameter of cerebral blood vessels, reduces blood flow in the brain, causes insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the brain, and causes dizziness.

4. Cervical spondylosis: The neck often feels tight, flexibility is limited, there is occasional pain, the fingers are numb, cold, and there is a feeling of heaviness. Cervical vertebra hyperplasia compresses the cervical vertebral arteries, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain, which is the main cause of dizziness in this disease. Currently, the disease has a higher incidence rate among white-collar workers.

5. Hypertension: In addition to dizziness, patients with hypertension often also experience headaches, palpitations, irritability, tinnitus, insomnia and other discomforts.

6. Heart disease: In the early stages of coronary heart disease, the symptoms are still mild. Some people may not have obvious discomfort such as chest tightness, palpitations, shortness of breath, etc. They may only feel headache, dizziness, weakness in the limbs, difficulty concentrating, tinnitus, or forgetfulness. The main reason for dizziness at this time is atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries of the heart, which causes the lumen to become thinner and narrower, resulting in ischemia and hypoxia of the heart. Insufficient blood supply to the heart can cause insufficient blood supply and lead to dizziness.
