Dizziness and a heavy sensation in the back of the head can be caused by various factors. Below are some common treatment methods and medication recommendations:
1. Cerebral hypoperfusion: Medications that improve cerebral blood circulation may be used, such as flunarizine hydrochloride capsules, xueshuantong tablets, and ginkgo biloba extract tablets. These medications help increase blood flow to the brain and alleviate dizziness.
2. Cervical spondylosis: If dizziness is caused by cervical spine disease, nerve-nourishing and circulation-improving medications such as vitamin B1 may be prescribed. Additionally, treatment targeting the cervical spine itself, such as physical therapy and traction, should be undertaken.
3. Other factors: Conditions such as hypertension and anemia may also cause a feeling of dizziness and heaviness in the back of the head. In such cases, treatment should target the specific underlying condition, such as taking antihypertensive medications to control blood pressure or using blood-nourishing medications to improve anemia.
When experiencing symptoms of dizziness and a heavy sensation in the back of the head, it is important to seek timely medical attention to determine the cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits and a positive mindset can also help alleviate dizziness.
