Vertigo/ Dizziness
Vertigo is the sensation of spinning or dizziness. It can be disorienting and discouraging. It affects daily life and makes walking, standing, or working hard. As an ENT consultant, I can help establish the correct diagnosis and treatment for your vertigo problem.
What Causes Vertigo?
There are many potential causes of vertigo, but some of the most common include:
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
Inner ear infections
Meniere’s disease
Migraines
Medication
Cervical spine problems
Central causes
Do you know how we can help?
By a thorough history and physical exam (oto-neurological exam), we will determine your exact category of vertigo. You will also need a hearing test. Based on your condition, we can propose an optimal treatment regimen. This could include:
a. Canalith repositioning or Epley manoeuvre: For BPPV, specific head movements can relocate the dislodged crystals, thereby relieving vertigo symptoms.
b. Medication
c. Exercises to do at home
d. Advises on lifestyle changes: Stress reduction, staying hydrated, and limiting caffeine or alcohol consumption are essential.
