Introduction
In general, feeling weak, dizzy, and fatigued after using air conditioning may be caused by factors such as dry air, excessive cooling, colds, or anemia, and treatment should be based on the specific cause. In addition, other possible causes include unclean air conditioner filters, low blood pressure, or coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.

Generally, feeling weak, dizzy, and fatigued after using air conditioning may be caused by dry air, excessive cooling, colds, anemia, or other reasons. Appropriate treatment should be based on specific conditions. Details are as follows:

1. Dry Air

Staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time may lead to dry indoor air, causing problems such as dry skin, dry eyes, dry mouth, and throat discomfort. It is recommended to drink more water, use a hygrometer to monitor humidity levels, and use a humidifier to increase indoor air moisture.

2. Excessive Cooling

Remaining in an over-cooled air-conditioned environment for extended periods can easily cause physical discomfort, such as general weakness, dizziness, and fatigue. The room temperature should be moderately adjusted to avoid overcooling, and large temperature differences between indoor and outdoor environments should also be avoided.

3. Cold

Prolonged exposure to air conditioning may lead to chilling and reduced immunity, resulting in a cold and the aforementioned symptoms. Patients are advised to take medications such as Ganmaoling Granules or Vitamin C Yinqiao Tablets as directed by a physician.

4. Anemia

If a patient has anemia, the relatively low oxygen concentration in an air-conditioned room may trigger discomfort. If there are no chronic symptoms, this type of anemia is usually mild and does not require medication—adjusting the diet to improve nutrition is sufficient. It is beneficial to consume more foods rich in protein and vitamins.

In addition, other possible causes include unclean air conditioner filters, low blood pressure, or coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical attention when experiencing discomfort to avoid delays in treatment. Additionally, maintaining a light diet and ensuring adequate rest in daily life are important.

Why do I feel dizzy after taking Ornidazole capsules?
A lower than normal number of red blood cells or hemoglobin levels in the body leads to insufficient oxygen and blood supply to the brain. Taking ornidazole capsules may worsen dizziness. This condition is often accompanied by symptoms such as pale complexion and fatigue. Under a doctor's guidance, patients can take ferrous sulfate tablets, folic acid tablets, and vitamin B12 tablets, and consume more iron- and protein-rich foods.

What should I do if I feel dizzy from inhaling too much carbon dioxide?
Methods to relieve dizziness caused by excessive carbon dioxide inhalation generally include immediately moving to a well-ventilated area, practicing slow deep breathing to regulate respiration, drinking water appropriately, resting quietly, and loosening tight clothing. Quickly leave environments with high carbon dioxide concentrations (such as enclosed rooms or cellars) and go to an outdoor area with good air circulation or a room with open windows to allow fresh air into the respiratory system.

Will not wearing glasses for myopia cause dizziness?
Whether myopia causes dizziness when not wearing glasses depends on the degree of myopia and the visual demands of the situation. Individuals with mild myopia who rarely engage in near-vision tasks usually do not experience dizziness, whereas those with moderate to high myopia or those requiring clear vision may feel dizzy. To protect vision, proper daily eye care is essential. After developing myopia, one should have a timely eye examination and wear appropriate corrective lenses as needed. Avoid prolonged continuous eye use; take breaks by looking into the distance every 30 minutes.

What should you eat to replenish energy when feeling dizzy?
When experiencing dizziness, you may consume glucose supplements, bananas, nuts, whole wheat bread, yogurt, or similar foods to replenish energy. These foods can quickly raise blood sugar levels and provide essential nutrients, helping to alleviate dizziness caused by energy deficiency—provided that organic diseases have first been ruled out. If dizziness occurs frequently, lasts a long time, or is accompanied by blurred vision, prompt medical attention is recommended.
