Dizziness, also known as dizziness, is a subjective sensory abnormality. It can be divided into two categories: one is rotational vertigo, which is mostly caused by vestibular nervous system and cerebellum dysfunction, mainly caused by dumping feeling, feeling shaking or scene rotation. Second, general dizziness, mostly caused by some systemic diseases, is mainly dizziness and feels top-heavy. Classification and common diseases dizziness is a common symptom, not an independent disease. Therefore, we can classify and describe the diseases that cause dizziness, so that everyone can have a deeper understanding of "dizziness". 1. Rotational vertigo can be divided into peripheral vertigo and central vertigo according to the etiology. (1) Peripheral vertigo: refers to vertigo caused by inner ear labyrinth or vestibular neuropathy. Common in Meniere's disease, labyrinthitis, drug-induced vertigo (caused by streptomycin or gentamicin) and vestibular neuritis. (2) Central vertigo: refers to vertigo caused by diseases of brain stem, cerebellum, brain and spinal cord. It is common in vertebrobasilar insufficiency, intracranial tumor, intracranial infection, multiple sclerosis, vertigo epilepsy and traumatic vertigo. 2. General vertigo (1) Cardiogenic vertigo: it is common in arrhythmia and cardiac insufficiency. (2) Pulmonary vertigo: It can be seen in pulmonary insufficiency caused by various reasons. (3) Ophthalmic vertigo: common in ametropia, fundus arteriosclerosis, hemorrhage and ophthalmoplegia. (4) Blood pressure vertigo: Both hypertension and hypotension can cause dizziness. (5) Others: anemia, cervical spondylosis, acute fever, gastroenteritis, endocrine disorders and neurosis can all cause dizziness. Anemic elderly people have symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue and pallor, so they should go to the hospital for examination to see if they are anemic. If the elderly do not pay attention to nutrition and health care, they are prone to anemia. In addition, elderly patients with dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding and chronic inflammatory diseases can all suffer from anemia. 2. High blood viscosity, hyperlipidemia and thrombocytosis. It can increase blood viscosity and slow blood flow, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, causing fatigue, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms. Among them, there are many reasons for hyperlipidemia, and the most important one is the unreasonable diet structure. 3. Patients with cerebral arteriosclerosis feel dizzy and often have symptoms such as insomnia, tinnitus, emotional instability, forgetfulness and numbness of limbs. Cerebral arteriosclerosis makes the inner diameter of blood vessels smaller, and the cerebral blood flow decreases, which leads to insufficient blood supply and oxygen supply to the brain, thus causing dizziness. 4. Cervical spondylosis often has neck tightness, limited flexibility, occasional pain, numbness of fingers, chills and heaviness. Hyperplasia of cervical vertebra squeezes the cervical artery, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the brain, which is the main cause of dizziness caused by the disease. 5. In addition to dizziness, patients with hypertension are often accompanied by discomfort such as head swelling, palpitation, irritability, tinnitus and insomnia. 6. Heart disease In the early stage of coronary heart disease, some people will feel headache, dizziness, weakness of limbs and difficulty in concentration. Mainly due to cardiac coronary atherosclerosis, resulting in insufficient blood supply and dizziness. 1. The best solution to dizziness is prevention. The elderly should regularly measure blood pressure, heart sound, heart rhythm, blood routine, blood lipid, blood viscosity, EEG, rheoencephalogram and neck X-ray. Take precautions before they happen. How to feel dizzy? Ms. Xu Xili, Chaoyang District, Beijing: 55 years old. Recently, my right face feels numb, like an anesthetic. I used to take a cervical vertebra film because of dizziness. The doctor said it was ok, but it was not serious. The doctor told me to put the pillow down. Now the effect is a little, but it is not obvious. Now I feel very sad in my head and neck. I have been dizzy for more than 4 months since May this year. What is wrong with me? How to treat it? A: Zhan, deputy chief physician of the Department of Neurology, Beijing xuanwu hospital, thinks that from the symptoms described by Ms. Xu, we need to pay attention to two problems: 1. Is the blood pressure normal? 2. Is there any barrier-free sleep? Ms. Xu is a middle-aged and elderly female patient, and cervical spondylosis is also a common cause of dizziness. Facial numbness has nothing to do with cervical spondylosis, but is generally related to brain symptoms. There are many diseases that cause dizziness, such as vertebrobasilar insufficiency, Meniere's disease, autonomic nervous dysfunction, insomnia, and some depression and anxiety. If it is manifested as transient dizziness and vomiting, we should pay attention to it, especially the lack of blood supply to the brain. If you feel dizzy for a long time, accompanied by poor sleep, or accompanied by numbness of the face and limbs, neck pain and other physical and mental symptoms, and even symptoms such as palpitation, shortness of breath and fatigue. You should think of autonomic nervous dysfunction (also called neurosis in the past) if you can't make any mistakes only by various medical examinations. If accompanied by depression, excitability and pessimism, beware of depression. It is suggested that Ms. Xu go to the neurology department of the hospital for relevant examination to further find out the cause of dizziness. Method 1 for treating dizziness: put an appropriate amount of egg brown sugar and soybean oil in the pot and heat it. Pour 2 eggs and 30g of brown sugar (stir with a little water) into the pot and fry until cooked. Take it on an empty stomach 10 day. In order to consolidate the curative effect, you can take it for a few more days. Method 2: Fence medicated diet is used to treat dizziness with 25 grams of Chinese herbal medicine Fence, eggs with shells 1 piece and 50 grams of rice, boiled into porridge, and seasoned with appropriate amount of oil, salt and monosodium glutamate. After cooking, remove the fence residue and eggshell, and eat medicated porridge and eggs twice a day. Generally, the symptoms of dizziness and headache will be significantly improved after eating for three days in a row. This kind of medicated porridge is not only sweet and delicious, but also can treat dizziness and headache, and also has the function of assisting in lowering blood pressure. Method 3: Treat dizziness with duck eggs and red beans. 1 duck egg and 20 red beans are evenly mixed and steamed. Take it once every morning on an empty stomach for 7 days. Method 4: Treat dizziness with Prunella vulgaris decoction. Spica Prunellae 25g, Radix Paeoniae Alba15g, Cortex Eucommiae 25g and Scutellariae Radix10g are effective. Usage: First decoct the first three herbs, put them in 3 small cups of water, boil for 30 minutes, turn off the fire, then add Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi and decoct for 5 minutes. Take/kloc-0 every morning and evening. After taking it, you can feel light-headed and bright-eyed, and there are no other side effects. Method 5: Chrysanthemum can treat dizziness. Chrysanthemum can lower blood pressure, improve eyesight and detoxify, treat dizziness, headache and tinnitus, and make urine clear. People with high blood pressure can use chrysanthemum pillow, which is helpful for women to feel dizzy and unable to sleep at night because of hyperactivity of liver yang. Wild chrysanthemum can be added with citrus leaves, mung bean shells or medulla tetrapanacis, dried in the sun, put into a pillow bag and sewn tightly. Method 6: Cover your eyes with black cloth and have a rest. For breakfast, there are stewed partridge and jasmine stewed eggs. Method 7: Exercise to Treat Dizziness A recent study shows that the elderly who often feel dizzy can greatly improve their condition through simple and easy continuous exercise. Jonny, a psychologist at Southampton University in England, said in the latest issue of Annals of Internal Medicine that exercise therapy can alleviate the symptoms and physical discomfort of chronic dizziness. The earlier exercise therapy starts, the better the effect will be. Ideally, it will start immediately after the first dizziness. She said that dizziness is a common situation, usually because of inner ear problems, but it will bring great inconvenience to patients, especially the elderly, such as falling easily, or being unwilling to go out or even living independently because of fear of falling. At present, there are few other treatments for dizziness except some prescription drugs with limited effects. In fact, some simple exercises, such as eye, head and body movements, can treat dizziness. Everyone can do it without any equipment, but doctors usually don't introduce patients. A study led by her divided 170 patients with an average age of 60 who often felt dizzy into two groups, receiving exercise training or general medical care respectively. In the exercise group, nurses taught them to exercise for half a day. A few weeks later, the nurse interviewed each patient twice to give advice and help boost confidence; Then at the end of three and six months, each patient's condition was tested. After three months, two-thirds of the members of the exercise group had obvious improvement in dizziness symptoms, while one-third of the members of the "standard nursing group" had improvement after six months. Johnny said that patients in the exercise group are more motivated to participate in dizziness treatment, so they are very willing to do head exercises every day. She said that as long as patients really experience the advantages and disadvantages of exercise, they can continue to do dizziness treatment.
