Dizzy, with a heavy head; shaking the head causes pain.

Dizziness accompanied by headache when shaking the head may be caused by upper respiratory tract infection, cervical spondylosis, hypertension, etc., and can be improved with medication. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Upper Respiratory Tract Infection

If a patient develops an upper respiratory tract infection, symptoms such as fever, headache, and dizziness commonly occur. Shaking the head at this time may increase cerebral blood flow velocity; due to the sensitivity of blood vessels and nerves in the brain, the head may experience pain. Under a doctor's guidance, patients may use medications such as ampicillin capsules or azithromycin tablets for treatment.

2. Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis may also cause the above symptoms. This condition can lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, resulting in dizziness and headache when shaking the head or changing posture. Patients may take medications such as oryzanol tablets or vitamin B12 tablets as directed by a physician.

3. Hypertension

When blood pressure rises, pressure within the cerebral blood vessels may significantly increase. Under the stimulation of high pressure, the head may feel heavy and painful upon movement. Patients may, with medical guidance, use antihypertensive drugs such as amlodipine besylate tablets or levamlodipine maleate tablets.

Besides the above causes, such symptoms may also result from anemia, hyperlipidemia, cerebral arteriosclerosis, etc. Patients should promptly seek medical attention at a hospital and receive treatment according to the doctor’s diagnosis and recommendations.
