What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a condition where an individual feel as if they or their surroundings are spinning or moving, even when they are not physically. The most common symptoms of vertigo include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and abnormal eye movements.
It becomes more common with age and affects women 2 - 3 times more than men. Approximately Vertigo affects
20% - 40% of people in their lifetime.
Vertigo can be caused by several different conditions, including inflammation of the inner ear, head injuries, and side effects of some medications.
If you or someone you know is exhibiting symptoms of vertigo, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
The Scientific Explanation
The inner ear plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and spatial orientation.
The vestibular system in the inner ear contains tiny hair cells that detect movement and send signals to the brain to help maintain balance. When these hair cells are damaged or destroyed, it can lead to vertigo.
Moving the head in certain positions or fast movements can cause episodes of Vertigo.
Peripheral vertigo is caused by problems in the inner ear, while central vertigo is caused by problems in the brainstem or cerebellum.
Vertigo can be sudden and may last for a few seconds, or much longer. Some people have reported that it can last up to several days. Common symptoms include, spinning sensation, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fever, loss of hearing, abnormal eye movement, and ringing sounds in the ears.
Is there a cure?
Tinnitus can be caused by many different factors and a blockage in the ear is one.
However, this isn't always the case and some people can live with Tinnitus for years without having an ear blockage.
While there is no cure, there are some ways to manage it and reduce symptoms to allow you to live comfortably.
