What is Vertigo?

You may have heard the phrase “vertigo” but if you are like many of us, the term has an elusive meaning, at best. To give it some greater clarity, let’s consider some medical background on it.

Put simply, vertigo is a health difficulty that expresses itself as dizziness. Consider it a chronic form of being dizzy. Rather than just an occasional spell of dizziness when standing up after a long time of sitting — vertigo is a chronic and recurring condition.

Causes of Vertigo:

The vertigo syndrome is often found to be a result of some health abnormality taking place in the inner ear. Some forms of the condition are age-related and can set on at some random point in your aging, whereas other forms of vertigo are related to infections occurring in the ear. When it is a matter of an infection, often times, the complication is viral in nature and should be able to be naturally handled by your body with proper health, nutrition and medicines (if needed).

Symptoms of Vertigo:

You’ll know vertigo is affecting you if you notice yourself feeling like the world is spinning, swaying or perhaps even tilting. You could also experience a lack of balance or the tendency to walk more towards one side over another; almost rather crooked in nature. In some cases, there have been reports of rapid eye movements as well as intense sweating. Others will report massive, splitting headaches or even on rare occasions, hearing loss.

Treatment of Vertigo:

While your specific treatment choice will ultimately be largely dependent on the particular reason why you have vertigo, it remains true that (at least in many cases) you can actually beat vertigo with your body’s own natural immuno-defense capabilities. A good part of this natural adaptation and ability to ward off vertigo is thought to be an evolutionary trait expressing itself as the brain’s power to essentially “rewire” itself when there is a specific need to do so. Before just deciding to wait it out, a simple check up to an ENT might also be wise.

Final Thoughts on Vertigo:

While it is absolutely true that sometimes a vertigo diagnosis can be more serious, it is usually just a temporary phase in an individual’s body chemistry and biological growth. Nonetheless, it can be very disorienting and uncomfortable, so knowing what to look for, how to take steps to slow down or entirely stop vertigo from even happening are wise topics to study. Despite the most common causes of vertigo, there are some, including the possibility of a tumor, that would be far more serious. It is because of the existence of some more serious health conditions which have vertigo as just a component that you should make sure to get checked out by a doctor immediately if you find yourself having repeated bouts of dizziness.

Waiting too long will not only make the symptoms get worse, but can also make a diagnosis more difficult and costly to complete. Those who specialize in diagnosis of vertigo, such as the professionals at Becker ENT, will be able to run a few simple, affordable tests to determine whether you should have any reason to continue looking into causes or if your vertigo is perhaps caused by some other primary health concern such as stress or malnutrition or poor blood flow.

    I have never had vertigo, and think it is a debilitating problem. My friend had it and she really had a hard time getting rid of it. I think it is interesting this topic and thanks for bringing awareness to this condition.

    I’m glad I haven’t had to deal with this. I do have a friend who does.
