Vertigo is a sense of spin and dizziness when one stands or even sits. This condition usually indicates a disturbance of balance. Many consider it a common sense of dizziness, although a person with vertigo often feels almost fainted. The best way to describe vertigo is to rotate your body several times and feel the resulting condition.
Vertigo can occur very suddenly and in some cases, lasting up to a matter of days. Sometimes it takes therapy and treatment to overcome it, but it all depends on the severity of the perceived vertigo.
Broadly speaking, vertigo is divided into two types: the center and the periphery. The difference between the two types is the organ affected. If the condition affects the ear, it includes side vertigo. Vertigo centers include injuries, traumatic injuries, and other health disorders that occur in the brain. The more common type is peripheral (peripheral) vertigo.
Peripheral nerve vertigo is divided into several types, Meniere's syndrome, vertigo benign paroxysmal Vertigo (BBPV), and vertigo inflammation due to inflammation of the nerve to the semicircular canal of the ear (semicircular canal) or vestibular neuritis.
The latter type is often associated with balance because different nerves are connected from the brain to the balance or vestibular system, including the nerves connected with the eye. The vestibular system is sometimes damaged or infected with the virus (vestibular neuritis). Some crystals can also form, come out with ear fluids, and cause dizziness (BBPV). Meniere's syndrome, on the other hand, is often associated with hearing loss and dizziness, although the true cause is still unknown.
Some factors also affect the incidence of vertigo, such as:
• Aging: The older you are, the greater the risk of getting BBPV. Calcium will accumulate in the inner ear, altering the method of sending nerve signals to the brain. Although the cause of the condition is still unknown, this condition belongs to an inner ear disorder that is easy to overcome.
• Migraine Headaches: About 40% of headaches are also followed by symptoms of vertigo. In fact, there is a condition called migraine related to vertigo. A migraine is characterized by pain on one side of the head.
• Drugs: Some medicines, including drugs for depression and seizures, have side effects on the inner ear.
You are likely to suffer from vertigo if you:
• Feeling that the environment around you is turning
• Feeling dizzy every time you wake up
• Have dizziness every time you move your head
• Feeling that you will fall
Vertigo can also be felt through:
• Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
• A headache
• Nausea and vomiting
• Aura (depending on vision)
• Sweating quite a lot
Some cases of vertigo are not so severe that you may feel no need to see a doctor. However, because vertigo is a sign of a disease, you should always be vigilant and get doctor help as soon as possible.
The doctor will do some tests to ensure that you are suffering from vertigo and not the usual headaches or headaches. The consultation session will begin with your medical history check, including when you first feel the symptoms. A test called the Dix-Hallpike maneuver is likely to be performed during the diagnostic process. If the results are positive, then you do suffer BPPV. Some other types of tests are the calorie test and the tuning fork test.
If the sensation that you feel is mixed with fever, then a blood test will be done to ascertain whether you are infected or not. In some cases, your doctor may advise you to go through a scanning process or electronystagmography.
One of the most popular methods of dealing with vertigo is the maneuvering of Epley or the placement of fluid in the ear canal to other places causing imbalance or dizziness. On the other hand, if you have neck or back problems due to injury or other health conditions, then one of the other treatment options you can take is the Brandt-Daroff method. Both techniques can be done without the supervision of a doctor.
Some other solutions include:
• Reduce consumption of [alcohol }
• Handling stress
• Rehabilitation of the body or vestibular balance system
• Drugs such as prochlorperazine
Otology is a branch of health science that studies all things related to the ear, including the structure and condition of the ear (such as hearing loss or balance problems). This branch is closely related to neuro-otology that studies about neurological disorders (neurological) that affect the ear like facial nerve paralysis and Meniere syndrome. Otology is also a branch of ENT, which studies the ear, nose and throat.
Meet an Otolaryngology if you:
• Have been diagnosed with vertigo
• The drugs you consume cause vertigo
• Vertigo that you suffer worsens
• Vertigo that you suffer makes it difficult for you to live normally
