Answer 1

Possible side effect: The dizziness could be a side effect of the medication. You should call the doctor who prescribed it to you and let them know.

Answer 2

Hyperthyroidism: There are many different causes of hyperthyroidism. Graves disease is an autoimmune disease most common in young women. Other common forms of hyperthyroidism are toxic nodular goiter, subacute thyroiditis, post-partum thyroiditis, and of course overreplacement with thyroid hormone. There are many other, less common forms of hyperthyroidism, some of which can be subtle.

Answer 3

One form of hyperthy: Graves' disease is a specific form of hyperthyroidism caused by an immune disorder. If addition to thyroid abnormalities (which occur in the majority, but not all of graves' disease patients), you can also have a variety of eye problems, skin reactions, bone resorption of the fingers and other non-thyroid abnormalities. It's treated like other forms of hyperthyroidism. See your endocrinologist.

Answer 4

Graves' disease: Graves' disease is a type of hyperthyroidism, and it is typically an autoimmune process. Hyperthyroidism is simply the end result. There are other ways besides graves' disease that people can develop hyperthyroidism, including toxic nodules, certain medications and supplements, and temporary viral infections of the thyroid, among other causes.

Answer 5

Depends: Only if due to middle ear inflammation. Other causes, like stroke improve over time, though many are left with significant deficits.

Answer 6

Central vertigo: Central vertigo is typically the result of a problem in the brain, specifically the cerebellum (coordinates balance) or the brainstem.

Answer 7

See below: Central vertigo comes from some injury to the central part of the cerebellum or those parts of the brain or brainstem involved in balance maintenance. Stroke, tumor, ms, paraneoplastic syndromes, degenerative conditions, etc. Are causes. Central vertigo doesn't come from the inner ear.

Answer 8

Very simple: You can see a demonstration under: http://youtu.Be/pa6t-bpg494. There are sequential movement of the head into 4 positions; one should stay in each position for at least 30 seconds.

Answer 9

Floating crystals: Benign positional vertigo (bppv) is caused by a crystal from the inner ear floating loosely in the inner ear fluid, triggering vertigo. The epley maneuver seeks to reposition the floating crystal into a place in the inner ear that does not trigger dizziness.

Answer 10

Situational vertigo: Features of situational or positional vertigo include a spinning sensation, nausea, visual blurring and loss of balance that occurs with changes in head position. The symptoms usually cease when head movement stops.

Answer 11

Benign parox vertigo: Situational vertigo, also known as positional vertigo or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, is a fairly mild form of vertigo characterized by periodic bouts of dizziness. Though troublesome, it can be treated effectively.
