Introduction
Prolonged mobile phone use may cause visual fatigue and obstruct the circulation of aqueous humor in the eyes, leading to increased intraocular pressure, which can reflexively cause vestibular dysfunction and result in symptoms of dizziness and nausea. Extended screen time may also trigger an acute episode of vestibular migraine. Dysfunction of the vestibular system in the ears can also manifest as dizziness and nausea; in severe cases, individuals may even experience a sensation of vertigo or the feeling that the room is spinning.
Generally, there may be a certain relationship between vertigo and prolonged mobile phone use. The specific analysis is as follows:
Vertigo refers to an abnormality in the sense of balance, causing a sensation of spinning or tilting while stationary, thus creating a false perception of movement. It may be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, tinnitus, hearing loss, and ataxia.
Extended periods of staring at a mobile phone may cause visual fatigue and hinder the circulation of aqueous humor in the eyes, leading to increased intraocular pressure. This may reflexively cause vestibular dysfunction, resulting in symptoms such as dizziness and nausea. Prolonged phone use may also trigger acute episodes of vestibular migraine. When the vestibular function of the inner ear becomes disordered, symptoms such as dizziness and nausea may appear, and in severe cases, patients may even experience a sensation of the world spinning wildly.
In daily life, if symptoms of vertigo occur, it is recommended to seek timely medical examination and diagnosis to clarify the condition as soon as possible. Under the guidance of professional doctors, individualized and targeted treatment measures should be adopted based on each patient's specific circumstances.
