Dizziness: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment

Dizziness is a feeling of imbalance, which makes you feel like you are spinning or the world around you spinning makes it impossible to keep your balance and fall. The mechanism of pathogeness of dizziness is complex and the treatment is also based on various causes.

1. Causes of dizziness

Dizziness is often caused by problems from the inside of the ears. The inside ear is the part that is responsible for sending signals to the brain about the movement of the head and body against the force to help you keep your balance.

Some of the most common causes of dizziness include:

1.1 Benign dizziness due to positioning (BPPV)

Benign dizziness due to the position occurs when small calcium particles (pulp canals) shrink in the channels of the ears. BPPV can also occur for unknown reasons and may be age-related.

1.2 Meniere's disease (hearing disorders)

This is a disorder that occurs in the inside ear, which is believed to be due to the accumulation of fluid and changes in pressure in the ear. Meniere's disease can cause dizziness along with tinnitus and hearing loss.

1.3 Inflammation of the forematoid nerve / Inflammation of the ear

This is also a problem that appears in the inside ear and is often associated with infection (mainly viral). Infections that cause inflammation in the ears around the nerves take on a very important role to help the body get a sense of balance.

1.4 Other causes

A person who suddenly suffers from dizziness or occasionally feels a build-up of dizziness may be due to head or neck injuries, brain problems such as strokes or tumors, certain medications that cause ear damage, and migraines.

2. Symptoms of dizziness

Dizziness is usually triggered when you suddenly change the position of the head. People with dizziness often describe this symptom with phrases such as:

  • Reclining;
  • Swaying;
  • Loss of balance;
  • Dragged in one direction.

Other symptoms that may be accompanied by dizziness include:

  • Feeling nauseous;
  • Vomiting;
  • Abnormal eye movement or eyeball jerks;
  • Headache;
  • Sweating;
  • Tinnitus, always hearing ringing in the ear or hearing poorly;

Symptoms can last from a few minutes to hours, or even longer, then come and go suddenly.

3. Treatment of dizziness

The choice of treatment for dizziness will depend on the causes. In many cases, dizziness will automatically disappear without treatment. This is because your brain can adapt in part to changes in the inside ear, and rely on other mechanisms to maintain balance.

For some people, dizziness treatment is necessary and measures that can be taken include:

3.1 Rehabilitation of the family

This is a type of physical therapy aimed at helping to strengthen the system of the forepin. The function of the preestinal system is to send signals to the brain about the movement of the head and body against the force. Rehabilitation of the fore can be recommended if you have recurrent dizziness. This helps train your other senses to compensate for dizziness.

3.2 Canalith re-positioning tricks

The American Academy of Neurons has released a series of detailed head and body movement guidelines for patients with BPPV. The moves are made to move calcium residue from the ear canal into the ear cavity to be absorbed by the body. During the procedure, you may experience symptoms of dizziness caused by a moving myeloid tube. The esymed dentist will guide the patient to perform the movement in the safest and most effective way.

3.3 Pharmaceuticals

In some cases, certain medications may be prescribed to relieve symptoms, such as nausea or motion motion loss associated with dizziness. If dizziness is caused by infection or inflammation, antibiotics or steroids have the effect of reducing swelling and curing infection. For Meniere's disease, weeds are also sometimes prescribed to relieve pressure from fluid accumulation.

3.4 Surgery

There are cases where a person with dizziness requires surgery to be treated definitively. If dizziness is caused by a potentially more serious problem, such as a tumor or brain or neck injury, the doctor will focus on treating those root problems to manage dizziness.

In fact, dizziness is not a disease but a symptom of many different diseases that you are suffering from. The condition can be effectively treated based on the cause but is often prone to recurrence. In most cases, dizziness is not serious, which will disappear if the causes are found and cured properly.
