Why do I feel dizzy when I lower my head? Beware of these diseases

Many people feel dizzy when they lower their heads, but they don’t know that this may mean that you have a disease. Anemia, hyperlipidemia, cerebral arteriosclerosis, cervical spondylosis, hypertension and heart disease may all induce this phenomenon, so everyone must pay attention to it.

1. If anemic elderly people experience dizziness, fatigue, or pale complexion, they should go to the hospital for a check-up to see if they have anemia. If the elderly do not pay attention to nutritional health, they are likely to suffer from anemia. In addition, elderly patients with indigestion, peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding and chronic inflammatory diseases may all develop secondary anemia.

2. High blood viscosity, hyperlipidemia, thrombocythemia, etc. can all cause high 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 reasons for high blood lipids, the most important of which is unreasonable diet structure.

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

4. Cervical spondylosis often causes tightness in the neck, limited flexibility, occasional pain, numbness, coldness, and a feeling of heaviness in the fingers. Cervical spondylosis compresses the cervical vertebral arteries, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain, which is the main cause of dizziness caused by this disease.

5. In addition to dizziness, patients with hypertension often also experience discomfort such as headache, palpitations, irritability, tinnitus, and insomnia.

6. In the early stages of coronary heart disease, some people may experience headaches, dizziness, weakness in the limbs, and difficulty concentrating. Dizziness is mainly caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries of the heart, resulting in insufficient blood supply.
