Vertigo Clinic
Vertigo is a false sense of motion, spinning, or feeling of imbalance. Sufferers often describe it as dizziness, imbalance, and light-headedness. It is a fact that 20-40% of people are affected by dizziness, and 2-3% of emergency visits to the hospital are due to dizziness.
Symptoms
- Giddiness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Hearing loss in one or both ears
- Tinnitus (ringing in your ears)
- Headaches
- A feeling of fullness in your ear
How to diagnose Vertigo?
At THANC hospital, we do the following tests:
What causes Vertigo?
- The balance system comprises the inner ear’s vestibular organ, the associated nerves, and balance centers in the brain.
- It is a complex system that helps the body maintain good balance and stability.
- If the vestibular system is affected, you can experience vertigo.
Balance Assessment Testing
- ENT doctors may recommend a balance assessment if you have symptoms of dizziness, vertigo or a feeling of imbalance.
- The test checks how the balance system within your inner ear (vestibular organ) is working.
- Balance assessment tests, like VNG, use equipment to monitor the eyes for normal and abnormal movements when the vestibular system is stimulated.
How to Prepare for Vestibular Testing
- Discuss with the treating consultant regarding the use of anti-vertigo medications, as they may interfere with the evaluation/results of the tests.
- Follow the recommended dietary guidelines before the test and avoid alcohol consumption.
- Do not wear eye makeup; it is important to see all eye movements during the evaluation.
- You may feel dizzy after the evaluation; it is advisable to have a family member or someone else drive you home after the testing is done.
How to Treat Vertigo?
At THANC Hospital, a team approach involving ENT specialists, neurologists, audiologists/speech-language pathologists, and physiotherapists ensures holistic treatment. The treatment may include simple lifestyle changes, medications, repositioning maneuvers, adaptation exercises, and physiotherapy.
