What To Do About Vertigo

Vertigo 

Before we delve into what exactly causes vertigo, let us have a look at its most common symptoms. People suffering from vertigo often experience two different types of dizziness.  In some cases, people feel dizzy and actually feel they are going to faint or pass out while in others, they feel dizzy and notice everything around them moving or spinning.

Basically, vertigo is a medical term that describes the second situation where people perceive the objects to be moving and spinning around. It is crucial to understand the difference between the two as both of them have different causes and thus, different treatment. Vertigo can range from a small nuisance to an indication of a severe underlying condition. However, contrary to what people generally believe, dizziness is not the only symptom associated with Vertigo.

Some of the other symptoms of vertigo that commonly accompany dizziness are:

• Blurry vision or difficulty focusing
• Double vision
• Feeling fatigued or tired all the time
• Problems hearing, especially in one ear
• Ringing Ears
• Trouble maintaining balance

Causes of Vertigo

As already discussed above, Vertigo can be caused by a number of reasons. At times, the source of Vertigo can be an underlying issue. Thus, if you are experiencing any symptoms, it is very crucial to get them examined by a practicing medical professional. Some of the most prominent causes of Vertigo are:

• Accidents resulting in damage to the joints and ligaments throughout the spine
• A chronic earache or sometimes even damage to the inner ear
• Lack of blood flow to the brain
• Misalignments or subluxations of the vertebrae in the neck
• Severe headaches such as migraines or tension headaches

By now you must have noticed that vertigo commonly starts with issues that involve the head, inner ear, and spine. All these are very important for the body to orient itself and maintain its balance. Vertigo generally happens when the signals sent from the spinal nerves to the brain are disrupted. Such signals when distorted and scrambled, dizziness occurs.
