Vertigo
Vertigo is a form of dizziness characterized by a sensation of movement or spinning, even when stationary. It often creates the uncanny feeling that everything around is moving or spinning. Vertigo can be caused by various factors affecting the inner ear, or balance centers in the Brain and Neck. it is accompanied by symptoms like nausea, vomiting, sweating, or loss of balance. The severity of these symptoms can range from mild to extreme. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include exercises to reposition inner ear crystals, medication, vestibular rehabilitation therapy, and management of related conditions.
Causes of Vertigo
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV):
- The most common cause of vertigo, typically triggered by changes in head position. It is caused by displacement of calcium carbonate crystals (otoconia) within the inner ear.
Meniere’s Disease:
- A disorder of the inner ear that can cause episodes of vertigo, along with ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and hearing loss. It is believed to be related to fluid buildup and changes in inner ear pressure.
Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis:
- Inflammation of the vestibular nerve (vestibular neuritis) or the inner ear (labyrinthitis) due to viral infections. These conditions can cause sudden, severe vertigo and may be associated with hearing loss and imbalance.
- Cervical Spondilitis:
- Inflammation of the vestibular nerve (vestibular neuritis) or the inner ear (labyrinthitis) due to viral infections. These conditions can cause sudden, severe vertigo and may be associated with hearing loss and imbalance.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Can often be treated with specific head-positioning maneuvers (e.g., Epley maneuver) to reposition displaced crystals in the inner ear.
Medication: Depending on the cause, medications may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms (such as anti-vertigo medications or anti-nausea medications).
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT): Exercises and maneuvers designed to improve balance and reduce symptoms of vertigo, often supervised by a physical therapist.
