Vertigo - Stop the World, I’m Dizzy!
You may feel like you are turning around in circles even though you are standing still. That is how some vertigo sufferers describe the feeling.
Sufferers explain that the world around them seems to be swaying or moving - not necessarily the person who is experiencing the problem.
Many people dismiss it as nothing more than a bout of dizziness, or toss it off as just feeling lightheaded.
Reports by the National Institute of Health state that over 90 million Americans over the age of 17 have experienced a dizziness or balance problem.
According to studies of individuals with vertigo, it seems to strike women more often than men. Episodes tend to increase in frequency as we age.
Chronic dizziness or vertigo is often due to an inner ear infection or problem such as labyrinthitis.
When labyrinthitis occurs, a person can experience nausea, motion sickness and other syptoms. It causes the dizzy feeling as faulty information about position and balance are going to the brain.
The confusing data being sent to the brain cannot be processed properly.
When the canals, or labyrinths, are irritated, the brain often receives the wrong information. The result is objects spinning or moving around you.
People do not always seek help, or when they do it does not alway get diagnozed. The person then continues to suffer from such problems as hearing loss and/or tinnitus.
Treatment is often not sought due to the seemingly temporary nature of the problem.
Unfortunately, the problem reoccurs and can last weeks or even longer.
It can be easy to assume dizziness is a result of something common (like being really tired) so a number of episodes don’t necessarily present a pattern.
As a result, the condition can go on for quite some time before a pattern of repeated episodes is recognized. The treatment most often prescribed is medication, typically meclizine.
The drugs are usually either promethazine or meclizine. Some brand names are Dramamine, Meni-D, Adgan and others.
Medication of course addresses the symptoms but not the actual cause. In addition, drugs almost always have additional side effects.
A little known fact with vertigo is that there are more causes than ear problems.
Muscular tension in the ear area can in fact be causing the problem.
When the eye or ear muscles or muscles around this area are tense, vertigo can occur.
Medication does not have to be the only option. I created a natural program that has provided relief for thousands of sufferers.
It only requires a few easy daily exercises.
I have been amazed myself by both the results people have experienced and by the number of results. You too should start feeling focused in no time.
