Question 1

what can be done about vertigo symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Check your bite: If all else has been ruled out,  a bad bite or a TMJ problem, can contribute to vertigo.  Balance the bite, balance the craniomandibular system, see if you improve.

Question 2

what test can be done to see what's causing vertigo symptoms?

Accepted Answer

An ENG: And eng is a test which we use to evaluate the inner ear and the rest of the balance system. The eyes are hardwired into your balance system and by stimulating your balance system by putting you into different positions and monitoring eye motion we can determine a lot about what's going on with your balance system. Most ear nose and throat doctors have this test available in their offices.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

First Step: is to determine the cause if they can. It could be as simple as an ear infection  which would clear up with antibiotics. There are also other medications that may help depending on the underlying factors. See either a GP or an specialist in Ears Nose &amp; Throat for evaluation and treatment.

Question 4

sir i am suffering from severe vertigo symptoms since 3 years. had done epleys maneuver thrice.but i still experience thesame feeling.what shall i do?

Accepted Answer

Reassess diagnosis: Epley maneuver is often useful to address positional vertigo, but doesn't always work.  But could be that your events are caused by different disorder such as Meniere's, and would be of value to discuss further with otolaryngologist.  In some cases, paroxysmal vertigo can be caused by migraine equivalent.

Question 5

what can be done to alleviate vertigo associated with a concussion?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: You may have a severe concussion or worse.  Sometimes with head trauma there may be bleeding into areas of the head which can become very severe.  The vertigo can perhaps be controlled with medication, but you will need a detailed evaluation first.  You should not take anything sedating if you have had a concussion.

Question 6

i had a hearing test done.   the next morning when i got out of bed i experienced vertigo. was the vertigo a result of the hearing test?

Accepted Answer

Hearing test: No , the hearing test did not cause the vertigo . The question is, why did you have the hearing test in the first place?  Did you recently experience a change in hearing? I cannot tell from the information given, but it is more likely your vertigo is associated with the reason you were being seen in the first place. Anyway, go back and see an ENT about the vertigo.

Question 8

i'm having migraine since a long time.i had an mri done.results are ok.no abnormality found in the scan.now i'm a sort of vertigo with migraine?

Accepted Answer

See a NEUROLOGIST: There are many causes for headache, and migraine is only one cause.  In many cases there is no abnormality noted on MRI or other imaging studies.  Furthermore a headache can be from intracranial (inside the skull) or extracranial (outside the skull) cause and both must be considered.  Degenerative disease of the cervical spine or a whiplash injury are both common causes of cervicogenic headache.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus and Vertigo: You must make an appointment to see your Primary doctor.
Not smoking is great! The other conditions listed need careful care.
Hope all goes well!

Question 10

i have been having vertigo symptoms while taking ativan (lorazepam). is this normal? i have had blood work done and have visited a doctor and everything is normal

Accepted Answer

Common isn't normal: Dizziness is a fairly common side effect of Ativan (lorazepam) so it may be what's happening. It's good that the tests/exam found you physically okay. Discuss this with Dr and if it's not minimal, perhaps try CBT therapy instead of a pill or to lower dose and shorten need.
