Vertigo is a feeling of dizziness, unsteadiness, or a sensation of spinning. It can cause a person to feel off balance and can be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sweating, and unsteadiness.
Vertigo can be caused by various factors including inner ear problems, balance and visual system issues, and certain medical conditions. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include medication, physical therapy, or surgery. If you experience symptoms of vertigo, it’s important to seek the advice of a neurophysician at Sri Anand Child and Neuro center.
A person should consider consulting a neurologist if they experience persistent vertigo that does not improve with self-care measures or if they experience any of the following:
- Accompanying neurological symptoms such as weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking.
- A history of migraines or inner ear problems.
- Sudden onset of severe vertigo with no known cause, especially if accompanied by hearing loss, ringing in the ears, or unsteadiness.
Dr. Anand, Neurophysician who is an expert in vertigo, can help diagnose the underlying cause of vertigo and provide the appropriate treatment and management.
