Why you shouldn't ignore the persistent 'dizziness'
Dec 01, 2024
Many people experience dizziness in their daily lives.
If you complain of dizziness, most of them are temporary or suspected of anemia.
However, if this dizziness persists, it may be a precursor to other major diseases, so caution is needed.
In most cases, if you complain of dizziness, visit the otolaryngology department first to check if it is otolithiasis or Meniere's disease. If no abnormalities are found through this, the neurology department will visit to check if it is dizziness caused by cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and Parkinson's, taking into account the possibility of abnormalities in brain and cerebrovascular.
Dizziness can be classified into three main categories: central dizziness caused by brain nervous system abnormalities, psychogenic dizziness caused by stress and autonomic neuropathy, and peripheral dizziness caused by problems with peripheral equilibrium nerves.
Lee Seong-rok, a neurologist at Juan Nanuri Hospital's cranial nerve center, said "Alongism is a common symptom in daily life, but it can signal the risk of serious diseases such as stroke. In particular, if the elderly or patients with chronic diseases feel dizziness without any specific reason, attention should be paid immediately."
According to Statistics Korea's 2023 cause of death statistics, stroke is the fourth most fatal disease in Korea.
In particular, golden time is a very important disease compared to other diseases, and diseases such as cerebral infarction in which blood vessels are blocked and cerebral hemorrhage in which blood vessels burst can damage brain cells, resulting in several aftereffects. Since dizziness caused by stroke is an acute disease, early diagnosis is very important even if mild dizziness occurs.
Tests for diagnosing the cause of dizziness include video diagnosis, cerebral blood flow test, vestibular induction potential test, autonomic nervous system test, and MRI test. In the case of dizziness, it is most important to diagnose the exact cause, so you should visit a medical institution with well-equipped diagnostic equipment to conduct an examination.
Manager Lee Seong-rok said, `Even if there are no aforementioned symptoms, if there is a family history such as obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes, it is necessary to check for stroke and pre-stroke symptoms"He emphasized the importance of early diagnosis in the event of dizziness symptoms.
