Q The hospital says my heart and blood tests are all normal, but I still feel dizzy every time I stand up. Can Korean medicine help with dizziness that doesn't show up on tests?
A It is common for standing dizziness to continue even when tests are normal. Rather than a structural problem, dizziness from reduced autonomic circulatory regulation is an area where Korean medicine, which coordinates overall circulatory balance, shows strength.
Detailed Answer
Normal heart and anemia tests are a good sign that dangerous causes have been ruled out. Orthostatic hypotension often occurs even without a clear disease, simply because the autonomic nervous system's blood pressure regulation momentarily fails to keep up—this is a real functional dizziness that doesn't easily show up on test results.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Korean medicine is well suited to addressing functional imbalances that don't appear in numbers. By lifting the upward energy and evenly aligning circulatory regulation that has become disturbed between the upper and lower body, we can reduce the lightheadedness and dizziness felt when changing posture, even when it doesn't show on tests.
