Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Can you please tell me what medication is used to treat vertigo?Doctor's answer:
Recurring dizziness requires further clarification of the underlying cause. Common causes include peripheral vestibular disorders, such as peripheral vertigo, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), and Meniere's disease. It is necessary to consult an otolaryngologist for further follow-up and to take betahistine orally to alleviate dizziness.Another common cause is cerebrovascular disease, such as infarction of the brainstem or cerebellum. It is necessary to undergo a brain CT scan for further confirmation and diagnosis. Antithrombotic drugs, such as aspirin and rosuvastatin, should be used to manage the condition.
