A woman in her 50s surnamed Chen suffered from dizziness for half a year. In severe cases, she might not even walk steadily. She also began to suffer from insomnia and hair loss. She went to the hospital for many examinations but might not find the cause. Finally, she was examined by pediatric neurologist Hu Wenlong. It was found that the woman’s blood level of vitamin D was seriously insufficient. She was asked to eat more salmon, mushrooms, bask in the sun, and supplement vitamin D. As a result, the woman did not take any medicine. She has had no episodes of dizziness for more than three months, and her insomnia and hair loss have also improved.
According to the “Health 2.0” report, Hu Wenlong, director of the pediatric neurology department of Chengdu Hospital, said that Ms. Chen, who is in her 50s, is well-maintained and looks like she is only in her 30s. She usually exercises regularly and eats lightly. In the past six months, she has often suffered from severe dizziness and attacks. I might only lie down and rest, and needed other people to take care of me even for daily life. I also started to have insomnia and hair loss easily. I went to the otolaryngology and neurology department and did many tests to rule out anemia, Meniere’s disease, benign postural vertigo and For brain tumors and other conditions, vestibular neuritis was once suspected, but treatment was ineffective.
Hu Wenlong said that the woman came to him following being introduced by a friend. The examination found that the concentration of vitamin D metabolites in the patient’s blood was only 11.8ng/ml. The normal level is 30ng/ml, which was seriously insufficient and caused dizziness. Finally, he asked her to go home and eat more salmon, Mushrooms, cheese and other foods high in vitamin D, exposure to the sun for 15 minutes a day, and additional vitamin D supplements can increase the active vitamin D content in the body. As a result, the woman has not had any episodes of dizziness for more than 3 months without having to take any medicine, and has suffered from insomnia, Hair fall also improved.
Hu Wenlong said that according to research in medical journals, patients with vertigo symptoms, such as benign postural vertigo, Meniere’s disease and vestibular neuritis, have lower levels of vitamin D in their bodies than the average person. He reminded girls who love beauty and are afraid of being exposed to the sun, If you experience symptoms such as dizziness, insomnia, hair loss, aches, fatigue, muscle weakness, depression, poor appetite, and reduced resistance, you should be careful because you may be lacking vitamin D.
