What's wrong with headache and weak legs

When there are problems with your health, there are often some symptoms. If you have headaches and weak legs in your daily life, it also indicates that there is something wrong with your body functions. So what exactly is causing headaches and weak legs? Generally speaking, many diseases will cause headache symptoms. Headache is medically called vertigo. This condition can be divided into rotational vertigo and general dizziness. Different types of vertigo have different causes.

Dizziness, also known as vertigo, is a subjective abnormal sensation. It can be divided into two categories: one is rotational vertigo, which is mostly caused by dysfunction of the vestibular nervous system and cerebellum, with a feeling of tipping over, feeling oneself swaying or the scenery rotating. The other is general dizziness, which is mostly caused by certain systemic diseases, with a feeling of dizziness, feeling heavy headed and light feet.

Classification and common diseases

Dizziness is a common symptom, not an independent 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 can be divided into two categories according to its cause: peripheral vertigo and central vertigo.

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

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

2. General vertigo

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

(2) Pulmonary vertigo: can be seen in pulmonary insufficiency 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.

(5) Others: Anemia, cervical spondylosis, acute fever, gastroenteritis, endocrine disorders and neurosis can all cause dizziness and weak legs.
