Patient's question:
Last night, I felt dizzy and had dry heaves, but I didn't eat anything wrong, and my lifestyle is healthy. It's really hard to find the cause. My friend said it might be vertigo. If this continues like this, it's really frustrating. What kind of help do you need: What are the possible causes of vertigo?Doctor's answer:
What medical history do you have? What tests have you undergone? What medications are you currently taking? What other symptoms do you have? Vertigo can be caused by various factors, commonly including cardiovascular diseases, fever, anemia, toxic diseases, and metabolic disorders. True vertigo may also be caused by visual impairment, refractive errors, cervical spondylosis, menopausal syndrome, and neurosis. The underlying causes include cervical spondylosis, Ménière's disease, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), and cerebral arteriosclerosis. Considering your age, the likelihood of the first two conditions is higher. It is recommended to undergo cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other tests.
