Introduction

Dizziness, mental fogginess, and tinnitus may be caused by conditions such as iron-deficiency anemia, hypertension, or insufficient cerebral blood supply, and treatment should be based on the specific underlying cause. Long-term hypertension can lead to inadequate perfusion of organs such as the brain and heart, resulting in symptoms of mental fogginess. This can be treated with medications such as nifedipine controlled-release tablets and clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate tablets.

　　A feeling of dizziness, mental fogginess, and tinnitus may be caused by conditions such as iron-deficiency anemia, hypertension, or insufficient cerebral blood supply. Treatment should be based on the specific underlying cause. Details are as follows:

　　1. Iron-deficiency anemia

　　Various factors can lead to decreased iron levels in the body, significantly reducing hemoglobin and oxygen content in the blood. This impairs oxygen delivery to the brain, resulting in symptoms such as dizziness and tinnitus. Treatment may include taking medications such as protein succinic acid iron oral solution or ferrous succinate tablets, as directed by a physician.

　　2. Hypertension

　　Long-term high blood pressure can lead to inadequate perfusion of organs such as the brain and heart, causing symptoms like mental fogginess and impaired consciousness. Medications such as nifedipine controlled-release tablets or clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate tablets may be prescribed under medical supervision.

　　3. Insufficient cerebral blood supply

　　This condition is primarily caused by cerebral atherosclerosis or narrowing of cerebral blood vessels, leading to ischemia and hypoxia of brain cells. Symptoms include dizziness and impaired consciousness, often accompanied by headache, memory decline, and tinnitus. Treatment may involve medications such as flunarizine hydrochloride capsules or betahistine hydrochloride tablets, taken under a doctor's guidance.

　　Besides the above causes, similar symptoms may also result from cerebral hypoxia, cerebral hemorrhage, or cerebral infarction. It is important to frequently open windows for ventilation and maintain good indoor air circulation. Patients are advised to seek timely medical attention when experiencing discomfort and to receive standardized treatment under professional medical guidance, which helps promote recovery.
