Introduction
Dullness in the forehead and slight blurring of vision may be caused by anemia, hypertension, cerebral ischemia, or other reasons, and treatment should be based on specific conditions. When blood pressure rises, it usually increases pressure on the walls of blood vessels in the brain, causing dizziness. It may also lead to elevated arterial pressure in the retina, resulting in blurred vision. Medications such as valsartan capsules or telmisartan tablets may be taken as directed by a physician.
Frontal dizziness and blurred vision may be caused by conditions such as anemia, hypertension, or cerebral ischemia. Patients should receive treatment with medications based on specific diagnoses. Details are as follows:
1. Anemia
Anemia occurs due to insufficient red blood cell production, excessive red blood cell destruction, or blood loss, leading to a decrease in peripheral blood cell volume below the normal lower limit. This can result in symptoms such as dizziness and reduced vision. Patients may follow medical advice to take medications such as Compound Ejiao Syrup or Iron Dextran Dispersible Tablets.
2. Hypertension
Elevated blood pressure typically increases pressure on the walls of blood vessels in the brain, causing dizziness. It may also raise pressure in the retinal arteries, resulting in blurred vision. Patients may follow medical advice to take antihypertensive medications such as Valsartan Capsules or Telmisartan Tablets.
3. Cerebral Ischemia
Cerebral ischemia results from factors such as atherosclerosis or hemodynamic changes that cause narrowing or occlusion of cerebral blood vessels, leading to inadequate blood supply to local tissues. When the ophthalmic branch of the internal carotid artery is affected, it may cause a sensation of head fullness or headache. Patients may follow medical advice to take medications such as Tongmai Granules or enteric-coated Aspirin tablets.
In addition to the above causes, such symptoms could also be due to intracerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, or brain tumors. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical evaluation at a qualified hospital upon experiencing these symptoms. Adequate rest should be taken, and overexertion should be avoided.
