vertigo is the feeling that you or your environment is moving when no movement occurs. Imprecisely called dizziness, the term vertigo is the specific term used to describe an illusion of movement. Unlike nonspecific lightheadedness or dizziness, vertigo has relatively few causes.\nertigo can be caused by problems in the brain or the inner ear.\n\n    * Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common form of vertigo and is characterized by the sensation of motion initiated by sudden head movements.\n\n    * Vertigo may also be caused by inflammation within the inner ear. This is known as labyrinthitis. This condition is characterized by the sudden onset of vertigo and may be associated with hearing loss.\n\n    * Meniere disease is composed of a triad of symptoms: episodes of vertigo, ringing in the ears, and hearing loss. People have the abrupt onset of severe vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, as well as periods in which they are symptom-free.\n\n    * Acoustic neuroma is a type of tumor causing vertigo. Symptoms include vertigo with one-sided ringing in the ear and hearing loss.\n\n    * Vertigo can be caused by decreased blood flow to the brain and base of the brain. Bleeding into the back of the brain is known as cerebellar hemorrhage and is characterized by vertigo, headache, difficulty walking, and inability to look toward the side of the bleed. The result is that the person's eyes gaze away from the side with the problem. Walking is also extremely impaired.\n\n    * Vertigo is often the presenting symptom in multiple sclerosis. The onset is usually abrupt, and examination of the eyes may reveal the inability of the eyes to move past the midline toward the nose.\n\n    * Head trauma and neck injury may also result in vertigo, which usually goes away on its own.\n\n    * Migraine, a severe form of headache, may also cause vertigo. The vertigo is usually followed by a headache. There is often a prior history of similar episodes but no lasting problems.\n\nMedical Treatment\n\nThe choice of treatment will depend on the diagnosis.\n\n    * Vertigo can be treated with medicine you take by mouth, through medicine placed on the skin (as a patch), or drugs given through an IV.\n\n    * Specific types of vertigo may require additional treatment and referral:\n\n          o Bacterial infection of the middle ear requires antibiotics.\n\n          o For Meniere disease, in addition to symptomatic treatment, people might be placed on a low salt diet and may require medication used to increase urine output.\n\n          o A hole in the inner ear causing recurrent infection may require referral to an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for surgery.\n\n    * In addition to the drugs used for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, several physical maneuvers can be used to treat the condition.\n\n          o Vestibular rehabilitation exercises consist of having you sit on the edge of a table and lie down to one side until the vertigo resolves followed by sitting up and lying down on the other side, again until the vertigo ceases. This is repeated until the vertigo is no longer inducible.\n\n          o Particle repositioning maneuver is a treatment based on the idea that the condition is caused by small stones in the inner ear. Your head is repositioned to move the stones to their normal position. This maneuver should be repeated until the abnormal eye movements are no longer visible

Something very simple that can cause you to be dizzy is an inner ear infection or wax build up in the ear.  I have an over active wax maker and when I get too much it causes pressure on the inner ear and makes an unbalanced situation.  It will really make you dizzy to the point of falling sometimes.  Have your health practitioner check your ears.

Hi.  Im sorry you have this terrible condition, but the good news is that there is lots you can do to live with it and make it better. \n\nIve had mild vertigo now for almost 5 years after getting labrynthitis. \n\nThe worst part at first was the anxiety that came along with vertigo and being in public places.  Best thing to start doing right away is yoga.  Seriously.  It helps on so many different levels from balance, to calmness, blood flow, etc. \n\nAlso I would start doing vestibular rehab exercises--just type this into google and you will find a list somewhere.  They can help with balance and retraining your vestib. system.\n\nAvoid caffeine, high salt.\n\nI have found that antiverts do nothing for true vertigo.  Its not all in your head!  Also it helped me to talk about it with others who have it.  I think healthboards.com is the website.  Good luck.

lady_oboe,\n\nThe best way to get rid of it is to drink water, continue gulping it until your hiccup is completely gone.\n\nOn the other hand, if you very unfortunateand you don't have water near by and this hiccups attacks you, the most efficient alternative way (believ me tis works!!) is to breathe deeply, hiccups will still come by counts of 2 or 3, so just continue breathing deeply, you will notice and feel it yourself its gone after your continous deep breathing.. \n\nMy advise try the 2nd way of getting rid of hiccups the next time you have it, and you will see the results..

I have a very good friend that suffered from vertigo for years--she went to an elks rehab center here and they cured it in one session--has to do with the neck.

Benign positional vertigo (BPV), one of the most common causes of dizziness, is an inner ear malfunction that is common in older adults and people who have suffered head trauma. Traditionally, BPV has been treated over a period of weeks with one or more nonspecific exercises intended to relocate the inner ear debris that causes the spells of dizziness. About four years ago, however, UPMC physicians introduced to the region an innovative "one-time" therapeutic manuever known as particle repositioning. This procedure's sucess rate is now over 90 percent.

it's either high blood pressure or an iron deficiency. You should also check and see if it's a low grade ear infection...something like that can throw off your equilibrium and make you dizzy during extreme motions(which include bending over and rolling over)...\n\ngood luck!

VERTIGO!!! THis is an illness of the inner ear, and I think that's exactly what you have. Meclizine is the best thing you can get over the counter (I believe it is found in the name brand Dramamine). There are some Rx only meds as well. I would talk to my doctor!\n\nFrom WEBMD.COM:\n\n"Vertigo is a feeling that you or your surroundings are moving when there is no actual movement. You may feel as though you are spinning, whirling, falling, or tilting. When you have severe vertigo, you may feel very nauseated or vomit. You may have trouble walking or standing, and you may lose your balance and fall. "\n\nSound like you?

I can't exactly tell you what the problem is, but my wife is a doctor of audiology.  Ifyou have that kind of dizziness/off balanced, it can be a sign of some inner ear infection or one of several other problems.  I suggest you get into see an ear nose and throut doctor who will send you to an audiologist for tests such as a vng/eng or abr.  Some of these  can be fixed relatively quickly.  If you can go straight to an audioligist, who specializes in hearing and balance testing, I suggest you go there first.  Your ear is the area that provides you with balance and anything that causes you to be off balance should be dealt with by a professional.  Good luck!

Motion sickness caused mostly by the eyes.  It takes a while for the eyes to be accustomed to seeing things while moving that are moving t the same time you are moving.  Another part of it is the balance control in your ears.  It has a hard time deciding if you are tipping over or not.  there are some medication for this that helps some people.  Several different ones on the market so try one and if it don't help then go to another.

It is likely from the Effexor. This is a very common side effect. Sounds like you need to talk to your doctor about a medication change. It is not a good idea for you to stop the medication abruptly, though, as there is a risk of serotonin withdrawal syndrome. This may be a contributor to your dizziness.

It will get better - I promise!  I have been deaf in my left ear since I was 3 because of mumps.  The mumps destroyed the hairs in my inner ear that pass sound to my brain and also affected my balance.  And then, to top it off, at 14 I developed scoliosis - curvature of the spine - which also affects my balance.  \n\nI'm now in my 30s and I can manage to keep my balance in high heels after drinking several tequilas.  I'm not trying to make light; I also suffered from dizzy spells and once passed out in a trolley in Morrisons which was hugely embarrassing.  However, it does get better - it's a case of readjusting.  Follow the doctors' advice - the body is an amazing thing and it will get used to the situtation.  It will be weird for a while, but he will get better.  Just tell him to avoid the tequila and high heels for a while as that takes practice!
