Differential diagnosis

There are many reasons for dizziness. It may be a "small fault", or even a physiological factor, or it may be a manifestation of a serious disease. Therefore, patients should not be taken lightly. They must explain to the doctor the history of the disease and the specific process of the attack. They must also accept a series of Check to identify the cause of dizziness. These examination items include blood, urine examination, fundus examination, cervical radiography, electrocardiogram, electrical audiometry, vestibular function examination, echocardiography, cerebrospinal fluid examination and cerebrovascular examination, head CT, and magnetic resonance examination.

Dizziness is often accompanied by balance disorders, unstable standing, nystagmus, finger bias and dumping, and signs of autonomic dysfunction such as nausea, vomiting, paleness, sweating, pulse and blood pressure changes. This vertigo is called true vertigo. It is caused by vestibular nervous system lesions.

Another way to distinguish between these two types of vertigo is to pay attention to the duration of the symptoms. In general, those who last for more than a few months, many are non-vestibular systemic vertigo; those with short duration, many vestibular lesions.

Older people may have problems with high blood pressure and high blood viscosity, so they are prone to central vertigo.

The vertigo caused by transient cerebral ischemia has a short duration and can be quickly recovered. The vertigo caused by cerebral infarction, tumor, inflammation, etc., lasts for a long time.
