Patient's question:
Previously, I had been frequently staying up late, which lasted for about a year. One time, I had a severe cough that lasted nearly three months. When I visited the doctor for a check-up, it was discovered that I had an irregular heartbeat, and I began taking Western medicine for it, which I forgot was something like Kailong. During the course of taking the medication, it gradually improved, but the symptoms returned after I stopped taking it. After that, I didn’t focus on seeing the doctor, but recently I’ve been experiencing dizziness, making it difficult for me to concentrate well, and even while walking at night, I’ve occasionally felt like I’m about to faint. I get about 7 hours of deep sleep per day, along with a nap in the afternoon. I usually drink (dōngguā héyè chá) and maintain a normal diet, but I have gastritis and often burp after eating. I go for walks 3-5 times a week.In terms of help: What kind of tests (such as an ECG check-up) or treatments (deciding between traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine) should I understand in this situation?
Doctor's answer:
Dizziness, also known as vertigo, is a subjective sensation of abnormality. It can be divided into two categories: one is rotational vertigo, which is often caused by dysfunction of the vestibular nervous system and the cerebellum, characterized by a feeling of being tossed about, accompanied by a sense of self-shaking or. The other is general dizziness, which is often brought on by certain systemic diseases, characterized by a feeling of lightheadedness, accompanied by a sense of being unsteady on one's feet. It is recommended to actively take anti-dizziness medications such as Flunarizine Hydrochloride Capsules, Nao Li Qing, and Promethazine for treatment. Intramuscular injection of medication can be more effective when necessary. At the same time, it is important to avoid overexertion and pay attention to rest.
