Patient's question:
A 60-year-old male is a primary school teacher who recently retired from his position. Last year, he occasionally experienced episodes of dizziness, which would go away quickly, and he didn't pay much attention to it. However, this year, he has been experiencing frequent dizziness without knowing why. He wants to ask about the medications available for treating dizziness.Doctor's answer:
Currently, to address the recurring dizziness, it is necessary to identify the specific cause of the dizziness in order to determine the appropriate medication. Primarily, symptomatic treatment is required. If the dizziness is caused by high blood pressure, antihypertensive medications are mainly used. However, if the dizziness is due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, vasodilator drugs are primarily used to help with the treatment.
