There Is Help For Vertigo Symptoms
Treatment With Comfort In Mind
If you have ever experienced a vertigo episode before, you will never forget the symptoms you experienced. You most likely felt you were spinning or out of control. Many different causes of vertigo exist. However, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of vertigo — the sudden sensation that you’re spinning or that the inside of your head is spinning. BPPV causes brief episodes of mild to intense dizziness. It is usually triggered by specific changes in your head’s position.

When the vestibular system is impaired, the messages to your brain are altered, and your movement becomes affected. You may feel like the world is spinning around you, you can’t focus your vision for prolonged periods, or you can’t stand/move appropriately without feeling like you’ll topple over.
Vertigo is a natural reaction when your body’s equilibrium is disrupted. This isn’t easy to manage because it interferes with your daily routine and way of life.
In more severe cases, vertigo can be a sign of medical conditions that need to be assessed immediately by a medical practitioner.
Keep a close watch out for the following symptoms:
- Vomiting and nausea
- Dual vision
- Sweating
- Abnormal eye movements
- Weakness in the arms and legs
- Vision and communication difficulties
- Inability to concentrate or maintain alertness
If you recognize these symptoms, you should consult a Missouri, Illinois, or Oklahoma physical therapist as soon as possible. Please click here to schedule an appointment with iMove PT.
What’s Causing My Vertigo? How Can I Find Vertigo Relief?
There are several possible causes for vertigo. Some common causes of vertigo include:
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
This is the most common cause of vertigo. It occurs when the tiny calcium crystals located in your ears become dislodged and move around to different parts of the ear that they are not supposed to be in.
Meniere’s Disease
This condition occurs when fluid builds up in your ear(s). This typically includes ringing sounds in the ear and sudden waves of dizziness/vertigo that may last for hours. You may also experience momentary hearing losses.
Vestibular Neuritis
This is an inner-ear infection that can cause vertigo.
Migraines
Migraines can impact your vestibular system, and may be coupled with sensitivities to light or sound, or may also impair your vision.
Stroke
A stroke affects movement in your whole body. If you recently suffered a stroke, you may experience waves of vertigo which may linger for extended periods of time.
