“May all be happy, may all be healed, may all be at peace and may no one ever suffer."
Vertigo is a type of dizziness characterized by a sense of spinning or whirling, even when one is stationary. It can be caused by a variety of underlying conditions, including inner ear problems, migraines, and neurological disorders.
Some common causes of vertigo include:
Treatment for vertigo depends on the underlying cause. In some cases, vertigo may go away on its own without treatment. In other cases, medications such as antihistamines, anticholinergics, or benzodiazepines may be prescribed to help relieve symptoms. Physical therapy exercises, such as the Epley maneuver, can also help alleviate symptoms in certain cases of BPPV. If vertigo is caused by an underlying medical condition, such as Meniere's disease or a neurological disorder, treating the underlying condition is essential for relieving vertigo symptoms.
