Patient's question:
My father had mild dizziness again two days ago, which wasn't serious, so I didn't tell you about it. However, he had dizziness, nausea, and dry heaves at noon two days ago. He vomited the food he had eaten. When he was clear-headed, the family thought it was heatstroke, so he stayed home and slept for a day. Then yesterday morning, he came down and found he was still confused and dry heaving, so he went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. He is currently being treated in the hospital. How should he be treated?Doctor's answer:
If the dizziness is related to cervical movement, it is still necessary to consider the cause of cervical spondylosis. Cervical spondylosis can lead to insufficient blood supply, resulting in symptoms of dizziness. It is recommended to undergo a cranial MRI re-examination, which can clearly show the lesions and is more sensitive than CT, helping to rule out whether there is cranial inflammation.Based on the vomiting of coffee-colored food, there is a possibility of gastrointestinal bleeding. It is recommended to have an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (EGD). According to your description, the use of medication is still acceptable.
Additionally, during the treatment of a cerebral infarction patient, the patient's dietary condition and nursing care are also very important. The patient must pay attention to rest and can engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries.
