Vertigo Treatment in Jaipur


Vertigo is the feeling that you or your environment is moving or spinning. It differs from dizziness in that vertigo describes an illusion of movement. When you feel as if you yourself are moving, it's called subjective vertigo, and the perception that your surroundings are moving is called objective vertigo. It can be caused by problems in the brain or central nervous system (central vertigo) or the inner ear (peripheral vertigo). Vertigo is a symptom of other conditions. It can be associated with nausea and vomiting as well as the inability to maintain balance. It can be debilitating, especially if it occurs frequently. While the primary symptom is a sensation that you or the room is moving or spinning, there can be other symptoms associated with the condition that is causing the vertigo, including double vision, difficulty swallowing or moving the neck, facial paralysis, slurred speech or weakness in the extremities. Involuntary eye movements and hearing loss may also be present with vertigo.
The form of treatment prescribed for vestibular disorders depends upon symptoms, medical history and general health, a physical examination by a qualified doctor, and diagnostic test results.  The most effective treatment for benign positional vertigo (thought to be caused by small calcium carbonate crystals that block fluid movement within the inner ear) is a procedure called "Epley's maneuver." This involves moving the head in a prescribed sequence into different positions, and is designed to move the obstructing debris or "ear rocks" out of the sensitive part of the inner ear. Try to avoid head positions like prolonged tilting of the head when speaking on the telephone or rapid alternating head movements. If you are experiencing vertigo, use caution in situations such as driving, walking, or operating heavy equipment. Even short episodes of vertigo may be dangerous while doing these activities. You should take help if you suffer from vertigo, migraine, etc. from the specialists in Jaipur.
