Introduction
Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and numbness of the lips may be caused by neurasthenia, cervical spondylosis, anemia, etc., and can be relieved through physical therapy or medication. In addition, these symptoms could also result from cerebral infarction, transient ischemic attack, or cerebral hemorrhage. Patients should seek timely medical attention at a hospital for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and numbness of the lips may be caused by neurasthenia, cervical spondylosis, anemia, etc., and can be relieved through physical therapy or medication. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Neurasthenia
Due to prolonged periods of stress and tension, individuals often experience symptoms such as mental excitement and fatigue, frequently accompanied by emotional distress, irritability, and sleep disturbances, which may lead to the aforementioned symptoms. Patients may take medications such as mecobalamin tablets or oryzanol tablets under medical guidance.
2. Cervical Spondylosis
Cervical spondylosis may sometimes compress the vertebral artery. When the neck moves into certain positions, the vertebral artery can become compressed, causing posterior circulation ischemia that affects brainstem and cerebellar function, resulting in dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and numbness of the lips. Electrothermal therapy applied to the neck can help improve local blood circulation.
3. Anemia
When anemia occurs, a decrease in red blood cell count and hemoglobin concentration reduces the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity, potentially leading to ischemia and hypoxia in multiple tissues and organs, thus causing the above symptoms. Patients may take medications such as ferrous succinate tablets or iron dextran oral solution as directed by a physician.
In addition, these symptoms could also result from conditions such as cerebral infarction, transient ischemic attack, or cerebral hemorrhage. Patients should seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital to obtain an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
