Dr. Lv Zhiqin
For ischemic dizziness, the following methods can be used to relieve symptoms:
1. Medication: According to a doctor's recommendation, medications that improve circulation and dilate cerebral blood vessels can be administered, such as Nimodipine and Flunarizine, as well as blood-activating and stasis-resolving drugs, such as Xuesaitong Tablets and Naoxintong Capsules. For patients with more severe conditions, intravenous administration of blood-activating and stasis-resolving drugs, such as Danhong Injection, may be considered.
2. Lifestyle adjustments: Maintain a regular schedule and avoid sudden standing up after prolonged standing or sitting. Eat a balanced diet with adequate nutrition, and avoid hypoglycemia caused by excessive weight loss or irregular eating habits. Patients with anemia should consume more foods rich in iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid or take supplements as directed by a physician.
3. Regular check-ups: Individuals at risk for cardiovascular diseases should undergo regular physical examinations to monitor indicators such as blood pressure, blood glucose, and lipid levels.
4. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment: Patients with chronic ischemic dizziness may consider TCM treatments, such as herbal decoctions and acupuncture, to regulate body functions and alleviate symptoms.
Seek prompt medical attention if persistent or severe dizziness occurs.
