Introduction
Dizziness and frequent low blood pressure may be caused by orthostatic hypotension, which can be treated with medications such as droxidopa capsules or midodrine hydrochloride tablets. It could also result from cervical spondylosis, for which treatments include enteric-coated aspirin tablets, diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, or physical therapies such as cervical traction and massage. Additionally, it might be due to acute myocardial infarction, requiring surgical interventions such as radiofrequency ablation or coronary stent placement.
Frequent low blood pressure and dizziness may be caused by orthostatic hypotension, cervical spondylosis, acute myocardial infarction, etc., and corresponding treatments should be selected based on the specific cause.
1. Orthostatic Hypotension
If postural changes—such as getting up from bed or standing up from a squatting position—trigger orthostatic hypotension, patients may frequently experience low blood pressure and dizziness. Under medical guidance, medications such as droxidopa capsules or midodrine hydrochloride tablets can be used for treatment.
2. Cervical Spondylosis
If cervical spondylosis is present, herniated cervical intervertebral discs may compress the vertebrobasilar arteries, leading to insufficient cerebral blood supply and causing frequent low blood pressure and dizziness. Under medical supervision, medications such as enteric-coated aspirin tablets or diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets may be used, or physical therapies such as cervical traction or massage may be performed to improve symptoms.
3. Acute Myocardial Infarction
In cases of acute myocardial infarction, patients may also experience frequent low blood pressure and dizziness. If necessary, surgical interventions such as radiofrequency ablation or coronary stent placement may be recommended by a physician.
In addition, conditions such as cerebral embolism or pulmonary arterial hypertension may also lead to frequent low blood pressure and dizziness. It is recommended to follow medical advice for appropriate treatment.
