Introduction
Dizziness, chest tightness, and numb feet after sitting for a while may be caused by cerebral ischemia, hypertension, cervical spondylosis, etc., and require targeted treatment. Specific analysis is as follows: Cerebral ischemia usually refers to insufficient blood supply to brain tissue. Causes of cerebral ischemia may include anemia, smoking, etc. When blood supply is inadequate, the above symptoms may occur.
Dizziness, chest tightness, and numbness in the feet after sitting for a while may be caused by cerebral ischemia, hypertension, cervical spondylosis, or other conditions, requiring targeted treatment. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Cerebral Ischemia
Cerebral ischemia usually refers to insufficient blood supply to brain tissue. Causes may include anemia, smoking, etc. When blood supply is inadequate, the above symptoms may occur. Treatment may involve medications such as warfarin sodium tablets or rivaroxaban tablets under medical guidance.
2. Hypertension
Hypertension may result from long-term unhealthy dietary habits. Elevated blood pressure increases the pulsation of cerebral arteries, causing impact and vibration to brain tissue, leading to such symptoms. Medications like nifedipine sustained-release tablets or felodipine sustained-release tablets may be used under a doctor's supervision.
3. Cervical Spondylosis
Cervical spondylosis may be caused by prolonged poor posture. When degenerative changes occur in the cervical spine, nerves and blood vessels at the back of the neck may become compressed, affecting cerebral blood supply and resulting in similar symptoms. Traction therapy administered by a healthcare professional at a hospital may be an effective treatment option.
In addition to the above, meningitis, thrombocytosis, cerebral infarction, and other conditions can also cause dizziness, chest tightness, and foot numbness after sitting. It is important to promptly visit a hospital to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
