Introduction
Dizziness due to insufficient blood supply in cerebral infarction may be related to physiological factors, or could result from cerebral hypoxia, brainstem lesions, etc. In addition to the above-mentioned causes, vestibular dysfunction, Ménière's syndrome, and other conditions may also be involved. It is important to maintain a balanced routine of rest and activity, avoiding excessive physical fatigue. At the same time, maintaining a relaxed mood, eating a balanced diet, and undergoing regular follow-up examinations are recommended.

  Dizziness caused by insufficient blood supply in cerebral infarction may be related to physiological factors, or could result from cerebral hypoxia, brainstem lesions, etc. Treatment options include medication or surgical therapy. Specific analysis is as follows:

  I. Physiological Factors

  If one does not get adequate rest over a prolonged period, the risk of cerebral infarction increases, leading to insufficient blood supply and sometimes frequent dizziness. This condition does not require special treatment; appropriate rest is sufficient.

  II. Pathological Factors

  1. Cerebral Hypoxia

  In patients with cerebral infarction, the brain remains in a state of ischemia and hypoxia for extended periods, causing inadequate cerebral blood flow and resulting in dizziness. In such cases, medications such as betahistine mesylate tablets or nimodipine tablets may be used under medical guidance.

  2. Brainstem Lesions

  If patients with cerebral infarction have brainstem abnormalities, neuronal damage may easily occur, leading to insufficient cerebral blood supply or dizziness. Surgical treatments such as puncture drainage or craniotomy may be performed in these cases.

  Besides the above-mentioned causes, dizziness may also be associated with conditions such as Ménière’s disease or vestibular dysfunction. It is important to maintain a balance between work and rest, avoid excessive physical fatigue, keep a relaxed mood, eat a balanced diet, and undergo regular follow-up examinations.
