Vertigo is typically a sensation of spinning or dizziness that originates from the balance organs in the inner ear or the balance centers of the brain. Individuals may feel like they or their surroundings are spinning. Vertigo can manifest with symptoms such as spinning sensation, feeling off-balance, nausea, and in some cases, vomiting. Treatment varies depending on the underlying cause of vertigo.
Common symptoms of vertigo include spinning sensation, feeling off-balance, nausea, and a tendency to vomit. Vertigo is generally not dangerous but can significantly impact daily life and may lead to falls. It's important to consult a healthcare professional if it may indicate a serious underlying health issue or if it occurs severely and persistently.
Common causes of vertigo include inner ear problems (e.g., benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), fluid imbalances in the inner ear, migraines, vestibular neuritis (infection of the balance nerve), or side effects of certain medications.
Treatment for vertigo varies depending on the underlying cause. Treatment options may include medications (e.g., antiemetics or vestibular suppressants), balance exercises (e.g., the Epley maneuver), lifestyle changes (e.g., avoiding triggers), and in some cases, surgical intervention. Treatment should be determined by a doctor considering the patient's symptoms and health condition.
