Causes and Treatments for Vertigo

Vertigo sufferers experience a feeling that everything around them is moving or spinning. This feeling is often accompanied by vomiting, difficulty walking, and/or sweating.

Causes of Vertigo

Peripheral vertigo is most commonly associated with an inner-ear condition, such as fluid and crystal build-up in the inner ear, hearing loss, or tinnitus. This condition can arise from a head injury, stroke, or infection.

Central vertigo, on the other hand, stems from issues of the spinal cord or brain. If your symptoms resemble those of vertigo, it's important to consult a neurologist and identify the cause to develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Treatment Methods for Vertigo

Treatment may include avoiding stress-filled environments, practicing controlled movements of the head, anti-inflammatories, neurological treatment, prescription medication, and surgery.
