Dizziness is a common functional disorder of the brain and is also one of the common symptoms in clinical practice. It is characterized by a feeling of dizziness, headache, heaviness in the head, internal shaking of the brain, and dizziness. Dizziness can be caused by various reasons, most commonly feverish diseases, hypertension, cerebral arteriosclerosis, cranial trauma syndrome, and neurosis. In addition, it can also be seen in anemia, arrhythmia, heart failure, hypotension, drug poisoning, uremia, asthma, etc. Moreover, dizziness is also commonly seen in the early stages of depression. Dizziness can occur alone, but it is often accompanied by headaches. When dizziness is accompanied by a sense of balance disorder or spatial orientation disorder, there may be a feeling of external environment or self-rotation, movement, or shaking.
Dizziness Classification
1. Non-pathological dizziness: Many situations can make people feel dizzy, including eye fatigue, excessive tension or fatigue, walking from a dark place to a bright place, excessive alcohol consumption and smoking, long-term constipation, motion sickness, hunger, hypotension, etc. Generally, dizziness will disappear after the above reasons are relieved, so there is no need to worry. At the same time, hypoxia, mental stress, and menopausal syndrome can also cause dizziness. If dizziness is caused by multiple reasons and lasts for a long time or occurs frequently, it should be treated at a hospital. If after various examinations, the cause of dizziness cannot be found, the balance function of the inner ear should be checked to make a diagnosis.
2. Pathological dizziness: Sometimes, there is a feeling of tilting or rotating of surrounding objects, or even a feeling of sinking into the ground, and the surrounding objects are constantly shaking. The diseases that may cause these symptoms include vestibular neuronitis, sudden deafness, labyrinthitis, cerebral embolism, cerebral hemorrhage, brain tumors, etc. If there is a feeling of body and head rotation or shaking, general weakness, balance disorder, or sudden blackout, possible causes may include hypertension, hypotension, allergies, etc. When experiencing dizziness symptoms, it is necessary to go to the internal medicine or otolaryngology department of a hospital for comprehensive examination in order to make a definite diagnosis.
