Introduction
In general, the main causes of dizziness and tongue numbness include improper posture, excessive fatigue, deficiency of B vitamins, insufficient cerebral blood supply, and cervical spondylosis. Patients can choose medications such as mecobalamin tablets, simvastatin tablets, and eperisone hydrochloride tablets according to their condition to improve symptoms. In daily life, it is important to maintain correct sitting and standing postures and avoid prolonged periods of looking down.

Generally, the main causes of dizziness and tongue numbness include improper posture, excessive fatigue, deficiency of B vitamins, insufficient cerebral blood supply, and cervical spondylosis. Patients can choose medications such as mecobalamin tablets, simvastatin tablets, and eperisone hydrochloride tablets according to medical advice to improve symptoms. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Improper Posture

Long-term head-down posture or prolonged sitting with neck compression can impair head blood circulation and nerve blood supply, leading to dizziness and tongue numbness. It is important to adjust posture regularly, exercise the neck, shoulders, and head, promote cerebral blood flow, and relieve symptoms.

2. Excessive Fatigue

Long hours of high-intensity work or staying up late can continuously exhaust the body and nerves, causing metabolic disorders and resulting in dizziness and tongue numbness. Ensure 7-8 hours of sleep daily, reduce work intensity, and consume more protein-rich foods to replenish energy.

3. Deficiency of B Vitamins

Long-term selective eating can lead to insufficient intake of vitamins B1, B6, and B12, affecting nerve repair and metabolism, causing dizziness and tongue numbness. Adjust diet by consuming more whole grains, lean meat, eggs, and take vitamin B1 tablets, vitamin B6 tablets, and mecobalamin tablets under medical guidance to supplement B vitamins and nourish nerves.

4. Insufficient Cerebral Blood Supply

Narrowing of cerebral blood vessels or increased blood viscosity may slow cerebral blood flow, causing nerve hypoxia and resulting in dizziness and tongue numbness. Maintain a light diet, avoid high-fat and high-salt foods, and take aspirin enteric-coated tablets, clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate tablets, and simvastatin tablets under medical guidance to prevent platelet aggregation, regulate blood lipids, and improve cerebral blood supply.

5. Cervical Spondylosis

Compression of nerve roots and vertebral arteries due to cervical disc herniation or bone spurs can impair head blood supply and nerve conduction, causing dizziness and tongue numbness. Avoid prolonged head-down postures, undergo cervical traction, and take medications such as Jingfukang granules, mecobalamin capsules, and eperisone hydrochloride tablets under medical guidance to relieve nerve compression and relax muscles. In severe cases, posterior cervical laminoplasty may be considered.

In daily life, maintain proper sitting and standing posture, avoid long periods of head-down positions, maintain regular sleep patterns, avoid excessive fatigue, eat a balanced diet to ensure adequate vitamin intake, exercise the neck and shoulders regularly to prevent cervical injury, and seek timely medical attention for persistent dizziness and tongue numbness to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
