Vertigo Evaluation & Treatment

Vertigo might cause you to feel as though you're moving or spinning when you're not. Alternatively, you may believe that your surroundings are moving when they are not. Vertigo is commonly described as feeling dizzy, although it is not the same as feeling light-headed. For persons with vertigo, even small movements are excruciatingly painful, and the illness can have a significant impact on their daily lives. It is advised that you visit the best head and neck clinic as they will be able to assist you properly.

Vertigo Types

Cancer symptoms related to the head and neck vary depending upon the affected part.

  • Peripheral Vertigo : A dysfunction in the inner ear or the vestibular nerve, which links the inner ear to the brain, causes peripheral vertigo. Vertigo of this type is the most prevalent.
  • Central Vertigo : Central vertigo occurs when there is a malfunction in the brain, specifically in the cerebellum.

Signs & Symptoms

Any person suffering from vertigo feels as though their head or the area around them is moving or spinning. Vertigo is a symptom, but it can also precede or accompany other symptoms.

This might include

  • Issues with equilibrium
  • Feeling dizzy
  • A feeling of motion sickness
  • Vomiting and nausea
  • Tinnitus

What tests will be conducted to determine the cause of vertigo?

Your healthcare professional can use tests to diagnose vertigo.
These might include:

  • Fukuda-Unterberger’s test: You will be required to march in place with your eyes closed for 30 seconds. It's possible you have an issue with your inner ear labyrinth if you spin or lean to one side. Vertigo may occur as a result of this.
  • Romberg's examination: You will be requested to close your eyes and stand with your feet together and your arms at your sides for this evaluation. It's possible that you have a problem with your central nervous system if you feel imbalanced or shaky.
  • Head impulse examination: During this exam, your provider will gently rotate your head to either side as you focus on a stationary object. The physician will examine how well your inner ear balancing system is operating to manage your eye movements while your head is moving.
  • Vestibular test battery: This involves a variety of tests to aid in the diagnosis of an inner ear condition. Goggles are worn over the eyes to track eye movement reactions while moving your head and body, as well as after putting warm and cold water into the ear canal.
