Generally, when experiencing dizziness due to heatstroke, several medications can be taken, including Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, Shidi Shui, Ren Dan, Suhe Xiang Pills, and Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride Tablets. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Huoxiang Zhengqi Water

Huoxiang Zhengqi Water has the effects of relieving exterior symptoms, resolving dampness, regulating qi, and harmonizing the middle jiao. It is suitable for summerheat-dampness syndrome, exterior contraction of cold-wind, and interior accumulation of dampness, effectively alleviating symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting caused by heatstroke.

2. Shidi Shui

Shidi Shui has the functions of strengthening the stomach and relieving summerheat. It is primarily used to treat symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal discomfort caused by heatstroke. It can clear heat and relieve summerheat, harmonize the stomach, and stop vomiting, thereby improving dizziness following heatstroke.

3. Ren Dan

Ren Dan has the effects of clearing summerheat, opening the orifices, and removing foulness and turbidity. It is suitable for treating symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, chest tightness, and motion sickness caused by heatstroke. It can refresh the mind, open the sensory orifices, and relieve symptoms like dizziness and nausea after heatstroke.

4. Suhe Xiang Pills

Suhe Xiang Pills have the functions of aromatic orifice-opening and regulating qi to relieve pain. They are suitable for symptoms such as dizziness, headache, head congestion, and fatigue caused by heatstroke.

5. Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride Tablets

Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride Tablets can regulate body temperature, dilate blood vessels, relax muscles, and reduce oxygen consumption.
