Dizziness, soreness and swelling of the eyes

Dizziness and eye soreness or swelling may be caused by physiological factors, or by pathological conditions such as upper respiratory tract infections or hypertension. Treatment should be tailored according to the specific cause. The details are as follows:

1. Physiological Factors

In daily life, prolonged use of computers or mobile phones may lead to excessive eye and brain strain, resulting in fatigue of the eyes and brain. This can cause symptoms such as eye soreness, swelling, and dizziness. These are normal physiological responses and usually improve with rest.

2. Pathological Factors

1) Upper Respiratory Tract Infection
Upper respiratory tract infections often cause fever, which may lead to dilation of blood vessels in the head, resulting in cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. These changes can trigger the aforementioned symptoms. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as amoxicillin capsules or roxithromycin capsules may be taken to relieve symptoms.

2) Hypertension
In individuals with pre-existing hypertension, elevated blood pressure can increase intracranial pressure, leading to dizziness. It may also raise intraocular pressure, causing eye soreness or discomfort. Symptoms can be managed under medical supervision with medications such as nifedipine controlled-release tablets or metoprolol succinate sustained-release tablets.

Besides the above common causes, other conditions such as glaucoma, cerebral arteriosclerosis, or brain tumors may also be responsible. If any discomfort occurs, it is important to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment to avoid delays in diagnosis and management.
