What causes dizziness after getting up and moving in the morning, and what should be done about it?

Dizziness after getting up and moving in the morning may be caused by physiological factors, or by pathological factors such as insufficient cerebral blood supply or brain hypoxia. Treatment can be achieved through general management or medication. Specific details are as follows:

I. Physiological Factors

If a person engages in little or almost no physical activity in daily life, suddenly performing intense exercise on an empty stomach in the morning may overwhelm the body, leading to symptoms such as dizziness and nausea. It is important to get adequate rest and avoid excessive fatigue.

II. Pathological Factors

1. Insufficient Cerebral Blood Supply

This is usually caused by cerebral atherosclerosis or narrowing of cerebral blood vessels. If a patient gets up too quickly in the morning, it may lead to a temporary reduction in blood flow to the brain, causing headaches. Medications such as flunarizine hydrochloride capsules or betahistine hydrochloride tablets may be taken under a doctor's guidance.

2. Brain Hypoxia

This generally refers to a condition where oxygen supply fails to meet the minimum requirements of brain metabolism, resulting in varying degrees of brain dysfunction, manifesting as dizziness, drowsiness, and other symptoms. Treatment may include medications such as betahistine hydrochloride tablets or ginkgo biloba leaf tablets, used under medical supervision.

In addition to the above causes, dizziness upon waking could also result from conditions such as cerebral hemorrhage, stroke, or cerebral infarction. It is important to maintain a positive mental state and avoid emotional excitement.
