Frequently Asked Questions

What is Vertigo?

Vertigo is a feeling of spinning or imbalance (chakkar). Patients may describe it in different ways like spinning, dizziness, giddiness, imbalance, rocking or feeling that they may fall. Vertigo can present as acute attacks or recurrent episodes.

Vertigo can be caused by many kinds of disorders of the balance system. Most commonly they are due to inner ear problems. They may also be due to central nervous system, systemic disorders like inadequately controlled BP or psychological disorders. Amongst the commoner causes are disorders like Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), Meniere’s disease, Vestibular migraine, Labyrinthitis, Vestibular neuritis, head injury stroke, etc.

BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) is one of the most common causes of vertigo. In this condition, the patient complains of spinning on getting up from bed or turning the head to certain positions. BPPV is caused by a displaced calcium carbonate crystals with the inner ear. It is treated by identifying the position of the crystals in the ear and repositioning them with specific exercises (maneuvers).

VNG or video nystagmography is an important test to evaluate dizzy patients. High speed infra red cameras are used to record eye movements in different tests. The tests allow the doctor to check the functioning of different parts of the balance system and their connections in the brain.

Vertigo is treatable ! A series of tests done by your doctor will help identify the cause of your vertigo. Once the cause is identified, treatment with medicines or rehabilitation exercises would be advised.

Any defect in the balance system resulting in vertigo, unsteadiness or imbalance will affect the day-to-day activities of the patient and diminish the quality of life. It may cause a drop in the confidence of the patient as well as induce a fear of falling or movement. Treating vertigo will help restore the balance and confidence of the patient. The fear of movements may cause the patient to restrict themselves to a sedentary lifestyle and lead to depression or anxiety.

Vertigo is treatable! Identifying the cause of your vertigo will help the doctor decide whether you require medicines or exercises to control your problem.

After a detailed history, the vertigo patient should undergo a thorough vestibular evaluation. This will include tests like Videonystagmography, Caloric test, Subjective Visual Vertical and Dynamic Visual Acuity. Some patients may require an MRI of the brain. Audiometric tests to measure the hearing function should also be done.
