What's wrong with dizziness and thirst?

When the symptoms of dizziness and thirst occur at the same time, people will feel particularly uncomfortable. Generally, dizziness is vertigo, which is a more subjective symptom. Patients may have functional disorders, body shaking, and a feeling that things are spinning. In addition, patients will feel reluctant to eat because of dizziness, and lack of water in the body will cause thirst. Therefore, after these situations occur, you must know what is going on with dizziness and thirst.

Classification and common diseases

Dizziness is a common symptom rather than a separate disease. Therefore, we can classify and describe the diseases that cause dizziness so that everyone can have a deeper understanding of "dizziness".

1. Rotational vertigo

According to its cause, it can be divided into two categories: peripheral vertigo and central vertigo.

(1) Peripheral vertigo: refers to vertigo caused by lesions in the inner ear labyrinth or vestibular nerve. It is common in Meniere's disease (formerly Meniere's disease), labyrinthitis, drug-induced vertigo (caused by the use of drugs such as streptomycin or gentamicin) and vestibular neuritis.

(2) Central vertigo: refers to vertigo caused by lesions of the brainstem, cerebellum, cerebrum and spinal cord. It is common in vertebral-basilar artery insufficiency, intracranial tumors, intracranial infection, multiple sclerosis, vertigo epilepsy and traumatic vertigo.

2. General vertigo

(1) Cardiac vertigo: common in arrhythmias, heart failure, etc.

(2) Pulmonary vertigo: can be seen in lung dysfunction caused by various reasons.

(3) Ocular vertigo: common in refractive errors, retinal arteriosclerosis, hemorrhage and ophthalmoplegia.

(4) Hypertensive vertigo: Both high blood pressure and low blood pressure can cause vertigo.
