What department should the elderly see for dizziness, and what department should the elderly see for

Many vertigo patients have this confusion: they don't know which department to see. Actual Student:

Vertigo is a multidisciplinary disorder, and to figure out which department to look at, you must first understand the classification of vertigo. To put it simply, vertigo is divided into true vertigo and false vertigo. True vertigo has a pronounced sensation of foreign objects or self-rotation, while pseudovertigo is caused by systemic illness of the whole body and has symptoms of dizziness ranging from mild to severe, but there is no significant sensation of rotation.

Vertigo is usually caused by an internal medical disease, and patients can choose a general internal medicine department, and the doctor will conduct a corresponding examination according to the situation. True vertigo, on the other hand, is caused by otological and neurological disorders, and can be chosen as ENT or neurology. Many people think that vertigo is a trivial matter, and it will pass after a while.

As everyone knows, vertigo can also be life-threatening, especially due to neurological diseases. This is because this type of vertigo can be a precursor to a stroke. Middle-aged and elderly people have cervical spondylosis, coupled with arteriosclerosis, which can easily cause insufficient blood supply to the brainstem and cerebellum, and even infarction, resulting in vertigo.

Therefore, it is recommended that middle-aged and elderly people with vertigo choose to see a neurology department first. Life @ Yang Chengmao Many vertigo patients have such confusion: they don't know which department to see.

What causes dizziness in the elderly? What should be done to check for dizziness in the elderly? Let's find out.

1. Hyperlipidemia (check blood lipids, blood sugar, blood viscosity, etc.) Slow blood flow, insufficient blood supply to the brain, easy to get tired, dizzy, fatigue and other symptoms. The most important thing is the unreasonable structure of the normal diet, the patient eats a lot of high-fat, cholesterol food, and does not like to exercise. 2. Anemia (check five items of anemia:

Serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, ferritin, vitamin B12, folic acid) If the elderly have dizziness, fatigue, and paleness, they should go to the hospital for examination to see if they are anemic. 3. Hypertension (check blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids, Omron artery detection, etc.) In addition to dizziness, hypertensive patients are often accompanied by discomfort such as head swelling, palpitation, irritability, tinnitus, insomnia, etc. 4. Spondylosis (cervical spine radiograph, carotid artery color ultrasound, etc.) Neck tightness, limited flexibility, occasional pain, numbness of fingers, coldness, and heaviness.

Cervical hyperplasia compresses the vertebral arteries in the neck, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, which is the main cause of dizziness in this disease. 5. Heart disease (examination of cardiac color ultrasound, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, hemorheology, etc.) In the early stage of coronary heart disease, the symptoms are still mild, and some people may not have significant discomfort such as chest tightness, palpitations, shortness of breath, etc., but only feel headache, dizziness, weakness of limbs, difficulty concentrating, tinnitus or forgetfulness. The main cause of dizziness at this time is atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries of the heart, and the lumen becomes thinner and narrower, which makes the heart ischemia and hypoxia.

Insufficient blood supply to the heart can cause insufficient blood supply and cause dizziness.
