YouTube 'Geongang Mea-ri' Attracts Attention for Information Delivery

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Professor Kim Jaemyung from the Department of Neurology appeared on Chonnam National University Hospital's YouTube channel "Health Echo," where national university hospital professors directly deliver vivid health information, and shared various information about dizziness.

Dizziness is a very common symptom with diverse causes, making diagnosis and treatment often difficult. It is especially one of the main factors that disrupt daily life and reduce quality of life, and in elderly people, it can lead to falls and depression, resulting in social problems and increased costs.

Professor Kim Jaemyung, who appeared on Chonnam National University Hospital's YouTube channel, said, "Dizziness caused by cerebrovascular diseases, which are representative of dizziness disorders, accounts for about 9.2% of all adults, and in the elderly aged 65 and over, it accounts for about 20%, making it a common disease."

In particular, Professor Kim said, "Dizziness caused by brain diseases is often accompanied by other neurological symptoms such as dysarthria or hemiplegia, and it is especially dangerous for those aged 65 or older or those with hypertension or diabetes," adding, "If balance disorders are severe, making it difficult to walk straight, or if dizziness does not improve and lasts for several minutes to several hours or more, it should be suspected."

Professor Kim also advised, "Many dizziness disorders come on suddenly without warning symptoms and are not easy to differentiate from other diseases such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo or vestibular neuritis. If symptoms suggesting dangerous causes are suspected, you should visit a hospital immediately and receive professional medical care."
