Introduction
"Yang Kang" generally refers to recovery from a novel coronavirus infection. Persistent dizziness after recovering from a novel coronavirus infection may be caused by overexertion, poor immunity, hypertension, or other reasons. It is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital and receive appropriate treatment based on the underlying cause, including daily care and medication. Additionally, dizziness may also be related to factors such as anemia or cervical spondylosis.
Recovery from yang (阳康) generally refers to recovery from a SARS-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus) infection. Persistent dizziness after recovering from a novel coronavirus infection may be caused by overexertion, poor immunity, hypertension, or other reasons. It is recommended to promptly visit a hospital for evaluation and receive symptomatic treatment through daily care, medications, or other methods based on the underlying cause.
1. Overexertion
After a SARS-CoV-2 infection, some patients may experience insomnia, leading to insufficient sleep and leaving the body in a state of fatigue. This can result in persistent dizziness even after recovery. Patients can improve this condition by resting in bed.
2. Poor Immunity
A SARS-CoV-2 infection can weaken a patient's immune system, causing symptoms such as dizziness to persist even after physical recovery. Patients should focus on balanced nutrition and engage in light activities like walking to enhance their immunity.
3. Hypertension
Patients with pre-existing hypertension may experience accelerated hardening of the cerebral arteries, leading to narrowing or even blockage of cerebral blood vessels, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain. This can cause frequent dizziness after recovering from a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Treatment may include medications such as ferrous sulfate tablets or ferrous gluconate tablets, taken as directed by a physician.
In addition, factors such as anemia and cervical spondylosis may also cause dizziness in patients after recovering from a SARS-CoV-2 infection. If dizziness persists, patients are advised to seek timely medical consultation, undergo comprehensive examinations, and actively address the underlying cause once identified.
