What causes the feeling of tightness in the head and dizziness, and what should I do about it?

The sensation of tightness in the head and dizziness may be caused by physiological factors, or could result from conditions such as migraines or neurasthenia. Targeted treatment should be based on the specific underlying cause. Detailed analysis is as follows:

I. Physiological Factors

If you have recently been staying up late frequently, prolonged sleep deprivation can lead to discomfort in the head, causing symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue. This is considered a normal physiological phenomenon and usually improves after adequate rest. Generally, there is no need for concern.

II. Disease-Related Factors

1. Migraine

If you have been under significant mental stress recently or your head has been exposed to cold stimuli, it may cause dilation of blood vessels in the head, leading to numbness, dizziness, and associated symptoms such as headache and nausea. Patients should take medications such as diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets or enteric-coated aspirin tablets under the guidance of a physician.

2. Neurasthenia

This condition is commonly associated with excessive stress and insufficient sleep, resulting in sleep disturbances and head discomfort, accompanied by symptoms such as mental fatigue and difficulty concentrating. Patients should follow medical advice to take medications such as oryzanol tablets or mecobalamin tablets to improve their symptoms.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, other factors such as cervical spondylosis, anemia, or hypertension may also be responsible. Patients should seek timely medical attention to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
