Dizziness & Vertigo Disorders
Dizziness or a sensation of spinning (called vertigo) is a common neurological complaint. It may feel like the room is moving, or you are about to fall or faint. While dizziness may sometimes be due to simple ear problems, in many cases it is linked to neurological or blood circulation disorders that require medical evaluation.
Possible Causes of Dizziness
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Inner ear imbalance causing spinning sensation.
- Vestibular Neuritis: Nerve inflammation affecting balance.
- Migraine-associated Vertigo: Dizziness linked with migraine attacks.
- Low Blood Pressure / Circulatory Issues: Reduced brain blood flow.
- Stroke or TIA: Sudden dizziness with imbalance may be a warning sign.
- Neuropathy / Cervical Spine Problems: Affecting body’s balance coordination.
- Medication Side Effects: Blood pressure, anti-seizure, or other drugs.
Symptoms You Should Not Ignore
- Sudden spinning sensation or loss of balance
- Feeling faint or lightheaded frequently
- Associated nausea, vomiting, or sweating
- Difficulty walking straight or unsteady gait
- Blurred vision, double vision, or ringing in ears
- Weakness, numbness, or speech difficulty with dizziness (possible stroke)
Diagnosis & Treatment
- Neurological examination and balance assessment
- Hearing and vestibular tests if required
- Blood pressure monitoring & cardiac evaluation
- Neuroimaging (MRI/CT) if neurological cause suspected
- Medications to control vertigo, nausea, or nerve inflammation
- Vestibular rehabilitation & physiotherapy for balance
- Treatment of underlying cause (stroke, migraine, neuropathy, etc.)
