The best treatment for vertigo
Disease description:
During this period, I have been feeling listless during the daytime, and sometimes after sitting in front of the computer for a prolonged period, I experience dizziness, lightheadedness, and vision darkening. After visiting a specialist hospital for examination, I was diagnosed with vertigo. I would like to ask the doctor what is the best way to treat this condition?

The treatment for vertigo varies depending on individual conditions, and there is no absolute "best" method. The following are some common types of vertigo and their corresponding treatment approaches:
1. General Treatment: This includes maintaining good作息 habits, avoiding excessive fatigue and emotional stress, and engaging in appropriate physical exercise to enhance physical fitness. Additionally, attention should be paid to a balanced diet, avoiding excessive intake of high-fat and high-salt foods.
2. Physical Therapy: Methods such as acupuncture, massage, and manipulation can promote blood circulation, alleviate cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, and have a positive effect on treating vertigo.
3. Medication: Depending on the specific cause of the vertigo, doctors may prescribe appropriate medications. For example, in cases of peripheral vertigo, medications such as betahistine mesylate and ginkgo biloba extract may be used; for central vertigo, targeted treatment based on the specific cause is required, such as controlling blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and using blood-activating and stasis-resolving drugs.
4. Manual Reduction Therapy: For vertigo caused by specific conditions such as otolithiasis, manual reduction therapy is a quick and effective method.
5. Surgical Treatment: In cases where conservative treatments are ineffective, surgical treatment may be considered for vertigo caused by vascular malformations, tumor compression, or other similar causes.
If persistent or recurrent vertigo symptoms occur, timely medical consultation is recommended for early diagnosis and treatment.
