Find Vertigo Symptoms And Deal With Them
One of the biggest problems today is a Vertigo. It can describe a number of symptoms including faintness and lightheadedness, disequilibrium (feeling off-balance), and the feeling of motion when there is none. Everyone can experience vertigo slightly differently but it can be very unsettling. Often it causes nausea akin to motion-sickness. People experiencing vertigo may feel that they are swaying, tilting, or are pulled to one direction. Vertigo is medically distinct from dizziness, lightheadedness, and unsteadiness in that it involves the sensation of movement. It may be described as a feeling that one is spinning around, known as subjective vertigo, or the feeling of rotation of the surrounding environment, known as objective.
This is usually due to a problem with the inner ear but can also be caused by vision problems and other conditions. Less often vertigo may be associated with:
- Head or neck injury
- Brain problems such as stroke or tumor
- Certain medications that cause ear damage
- Migraine headaches
Vertigo is a symptom, but it can also cause other symptoms
These include:
- dizziness
- balance problems and lightheadedness
- nausea and vomiting
- a sense of motion sickness
- tinnitus
- a feeling of fullness in the ear
- Vertigo is not just a feeling of faintness, but a rotational dizziness.
Treatment
Vertigo itself cannot be treated, but symptoms may be helped, especially if an underlying condition causing the vertigo can be treated.
Specific treatments for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) include:
Epley maneuver: Holding the head in certain positions under supervision for short periods of time to try to move crystals in the ear so that they stop causing problems. Repeat treatments are often needed.
Brandt-Daroff exercises are alternatives to Epley maneuvers that can be taught so that they can be done at home when needed.
An operation to unblock ear canals may be recommended for long-term BPPV if the exercises are not helping.
For central vertigo, treatments include:
Vestibular rehabilitation (VRT), to help the brain adapt to the muddled signals the ears are providing.
Medication may help if vertigo is due to vestibular neuronitis or Ménière’s disease.
