A Complete Guide to Vertigo by Dr. Sandhya Manorenj: Exploring Diagnosis, Underlying Causes, and the Most Effective Treatment Methods

Vertigo is a sensation of dizziness or spinning, often caused by inner ear problems or issues with the brain. Common causes include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), labyrinthitis, and vestibular migraines. Symptoms typically include a feeling of imbalance, nausea, and a spinning sensation, which may be triggered by head movements. Diagnosis often involves physical exams and balance tests, while treatment can range from medications to physical therapy exercises like the Epley maneuver. In some cases, lifestyle changes and stress management may also help alleviate symptoms.
