Vertigo of the elderly, the most fundamental thing is to judge what causes dizziness, such as anemia, electrolyte disorder caused by low sodium and potassium, and metabolic diseases such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. If these causes are found, only the basic diseases can be treated. There are also elderly people who are dizzy because of unstable blood pressure fluctuations, high blood pressure or low blood pressure.

When the elderly feel dizzy, they should first stay in bed to avoid emotional tension and sound and light stimulation. Send the elderly to the hospital immediately, because the dizziness of the elderly is still insufficient blood supply to the brain, which is posterior circulation ischemia. When diagnosing posterior circulation ischemia, the elderly must have magnetic resonance imaging of the head. After the completion of head magnetic resonance imaging, cerebral hemorrhage and brain space occupation can be ruled out, so as to make the diagnosis and symptomatic treatment of posterior circulation ischemia. Drugs that stabilize plaque, reduce platelet aggregation, promote blood circulation and dredge collaterals, and improve circulation can improve dizziness in the elderly.
