How can we Diagnose Vertigo? |

Text 
|
The doctor questions the patient regarding the duration and severity of the dizziness spell. He also looks for physical signs like fast, uncontrolled eye movements called nystagmus and other abnormal eye movements. The doctor might advise the following tests:  Dix-Hallpike test- The head is moved in different directions and the eye movements are assessed and seen whether they correlate with the vertigo symptoms. Computerized dynamic posturography- The patient is asked to stand on a movable platform and his/her responses to movement are recorded. Electronystagmograph- Eliciting nystagmus (the abnormal oscillating movement of the eyes) can help determine if the symptoms are those of true vertigo. CT scan and MRI may be required to rule out brain tumor. Audiometry is a thorough test of various hearing abilities. If an infection is suspected, a doctor may take a sample of fluid from the ear or sinus or from the spine by lumbar puncture (spinal tap). |

Posted on: 10/02/2012 I have suffered from BPPV for many years now...... I have tried the eply maneuver a few times. While I have no insurance and very limited finances. I am not sure I am doing the exercise correctly. It seems to help when I can tolerate doing it, but only for a while. I was admitted to the hospital 2 weeks ago and given valum intravenously that seems to be the only thing to ever actually help. Also it seems I have more, longer lasting, and intense attacks in the fall. Has anyone experienced this?

Posted on: 01/22/2011 Vertigo can be due to Cervical spondylitis, cervical anomalies, any eye anomaly,ear anomaly, cardiac problem, high and low blood pressure, poor axidation, mental exertion, disturbances of sleep and many more. One should try to detect the actual cause of vertigo.
In fact Vertigo is a symptom of other anomalies present inside the body. reflecting the symptoms of whirling like sensation.

Posted on: 01/22/2011 Yes, it is curable, if you use Ayurvedic medicine. The best way is to go for first ETG AyurvedaScan examination and find out what parts of the body is normal and abnormal, then select the proper Ayurvedic medicine for treatment. Along term treatment cures the condition. |
