What causes vertigo? There are these reasons

Vertigo is a common symptom in life, which is more common among the elderly. There are many causes of this symptom. If many patients suffer from sudden vertigo for a long time, they must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid worsening of the condition. So what exactly causes vertigo?

Clinical symptoms of vertigo

1. Patients are prone to attacks at night or in the morning, and may suddenly experience dizziness, feeling that things around them are spinning, and accompanied by dizziness and vertigo.

2. When vertigo occurs, the patient's blood pressure will change, and there will also be systemic symptoms such as sweating, pale complexion, and diarrhea.

3. The symptoms of dizziness also manifest as ear symptoms, such as deafness, tinnitus, stuffy ears, and over time, hearing loss may occur.

4. There will be black spots, double vision, blurred vision, and double images in front of the eyes.

What are the causes of vertigo?

1. The body's resistance is reduced, and symptoms of colds or chills often occur. If not treated in time, the inflammation will spread and cause dizziness in the patient.

2. If you lack exercise and have weak cardiopulmonary function, you may also experience dizziness if you suddenly engage in strenuous exercise. If you exercise for too long, too much nutrients will be consumed in the body, blood sugar concentration will be low, or if you exercise vigorously, your breathing will speed up and the body's oxygen supply will be insufficient, which can easily cause dizziness.

3. Long-term malnutrition leads to physical weakness and anemia. If these conditions are not improved for a long time, they will gradually cause symptoms of dizziness.

4. Excessive emotional excitement often leads to uneasy emotions such as irritability, anxiety, and tension. If this situation occurs for a long time, it is easy to develop symptoms of dizziness.

What diseases can cause vertigo?

1. Hypertension. Hypertension is also a cause of dizziness, which is caused by fluctuations in blood pressure due to factors such as emotional changes, mental tension or mental stimulation. Some people also abuse antihypertensive drugs, which causes a sudden and drastic drop in blood pressure and dizziness.

2. Hypotension. Low blood pressure may also cause symptoms of dizziness, especially in young people, which can easily recur. Postural hypotension dizziness is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. They suddenly feel dizzy when standing up or getting up, and the dizziness disappears immediately. When they do the same action again, dizziness will reappear.

3. Arteriosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis causes cerebral thrombus attachment and can induce cerebral ischemic attacks. If this cerebral ischemia comes from the internal carotid artery, floating vertigo and black spots may occur.

4. Brain tumor. Rotational vertigo is prone to occur in the cerebellum and brainstem of the central vestibular system. The vertigo caused by brain tumors is due to increased intracranial pressure on the one hand and blood circulation disorders caused by the compression of the brain tumor on the other hand, which directly or indirectly damages the vestibular nerve nucleus and its pathways and causes vertigo.

5. Cerebral thrombosis. Mild cerebral thrombosis may cause dizziness. This is because after arteriosclerosis causes stenosis of the intimal lesions of the arterial lumen, the distal part can still automatically adjust to reduce vascular resistance and establish collateral circulation to maintain "normal" blood flow, temporarily preventing cerebral thrombosis. However, patients may still experience dizziness or vertigo.

Measures to prevent vertigo in daily life

1. To prevent dizziness, we must first maintain an optimistic attitude towards everything and not be too emotional. Long-term irritability and temper are definitely harmful to our body organs.

2. Office workers who have no time to exercise can do some housework at home after get off work to achieve the purpose of physical exercise, but of course not excessively.

3. Pay attention to improving your living habits. Learn to combine work and rest and avoid overwork. Get enough sleep, don't stay up late often, and quit smoking and drinking.

4. When you feel unwell, you should take medicine or seek medical treatment in time. Do not let the illness drag on. This will not only make your body feel worse, but also affect the timing of treatment of the disease.
