Causes of Vertigo/Dizziness (Chakkar aane ki wajah kya hai?)
Meniere's Disease
It is a disorder of the inner ear, characterized by episodes of hearing loss and fullness in one ear, tinnitus, and vertigo. Meniere’s Disease is caused by increased pressure of the inner ear fluid. If not treated timely, it can lead to progressive hearing loss.
Vestibular Neuritis
Vestibular Neuritis is caused by a viral infection leading to inflammation of the vestibular nerve. This disturbs the balance function and causes dizziness. The symptom is accompanied by blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, and difficulty focusing during head movement. Early vestibular rehabilitation helps ensure rapid recovery.
Otolithic Disorders
Damage to the otolith organs (utricle and saccule) cause disequilibrium of the body and affects visual stability. Until recently, there was no precise method to check the impairment of otolith organs. But now Otolith disorders can be diagnosed with the Subjective Visual Vertical test and VEMP. Otolith stimulation through vestibular rehabilitation therapy works well in treating the disorder.
Vestibular Migraine
10% of the population is affected by a migraine, most of them are women. The most common presentation of a migraine is headaches. But in a vestibular migraine, the patient has dizziness which may be associated with headaches. A severe headache coupled with dizziness indicates a vestibular migraine. Along with the spinning sensation associated with headaches, motion sickness and hypersensitivity to light and sound prominently show up in the patient. A vestibular migraine is controlled with diet and lifestyle modifications. In cases of frequent dizzy spells, migraine prophylaxis is prescribed.
BPPV
The unusual movements of carbonate crystals from their chamber into fluid-filled semicircular canals disturbs the way the balance nerve senses gravity and adjusts its movement. The result is vertigo or the sensation of spinning. BPPV is a common cause of vertigo. It is seen more frequently in the older population, after an ear infection, head injury, surgery or after prolonged rest. But often the trigger is unknown.The canalith repositioning exercises are the best method to cure dizziness caused by BPPV in which the offending particles are repositioned according to the type of BPPV by manoeuvres like Epley Manoeuvre, Semont Manoeuvre etc.
Labyrinthitis
The infection causes labyrinthitis in the labyrinth of the inner ear leading to vertigo, hearing loss and tinnitus. The difference between labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis is; in labyrinthitis both vestibular and cochlear nerves are affected and cause dizziness, ringing in the ear and hearing loss. While in Vestibular neuritis only vestibular nerve is affected leading to vertigo but the hearing ability is not affected. Labyrinthitis causes severe dizziness bouts that may last for days! Vestibular suppressants may be prescribed by the doctors to treat dizziness and its associated symptoms, for a very short duration of 3 to 5 days. Vestibular rehabilitation should be started at the earliest to ensure rapid recovery.
Perilymph Fistula
Dizziness, fullness in the ear, vertigo spells are the symptoms of perilymph fistula. A small tear in the fluid-filled inner ear causes fluid to leak into the middle ear. This leakage disturbs the equilibrium and leads to vertigo spells, especially when the patient does straining activities or coughs vigorously. This condition may also lead to tinnitus and hearing loss. Videonystagmography (VNG) and vestibular examination help diagnose the presence of the perilymph fistula.
Vestibular Paroxysmia
The compression of the vestibular nerve due to an inflamed blood vessel, radiation, surgery, or vestibular neuritis may cause vestibular paroxysmia. Microvascular compression is the most common reason for vestibular paroxysmia. The patient may have frequent short spells of vertigo episodes recurring throughout the day. VNG/ ENG and MRI scanning are recommended to diagnose Vestibular paroxysmia.
Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence (SSCD)
A rare condition of SSCD may occur as a result of thinning, or damage to the bony part of the labyrinth. It affects the patient’s hearing ability too. Natural coughing or sneezing can trigger dizziness in this condition. These patients have an extreme sensitivity to loud sound. VNG guided Valsalva manoeuvre, VEMP and CT scan of the temporal bone confirms SSCD. The treatment for SSCD is to avoid actions which aggravate dizziness. Surgical repair of the bony dehiscence is advocated for lasting results.
Mal De Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS)
The patient experiences a continuous rocking or sense of motion as a result of long travel, either by ship or aeroplane. Some individuals may develop MdDs even without exposure to long travel. A thorough vestibular evaluation and studying the history of the patient can diagnose MdDS. Antidepressant medication is prescribed to treat the swaying sensation. Vestibular rehabilitation treatment is the best technique to treat MdDS. Virtual reality training is also advised for these patients.
Acoustic Neuroma / Vestibular Schwannoma
Acoustic neuroma is a noncancerous growth on the balance nerve which causes unsteadiness, dizziness, facial numbness or tingling sensation, change in taste etc. A tumour grows slowly, and hence the patient often does not notice the symptoms. However, it may prove life-threatening if a tumour grows big enough to press on the brain stem. Surgery and radiation are widely used methods to treat acoustic neuroma.
Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder in which the protective myelin shield of the nerve cells get damaged hampering signal transmission to the brain. Difficulty in focusing, visual problems, vertigo spells and unsteadiness are some of the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Spinal tap, VNG and MRI brain are advised in the evaluation to confirm multiple sclerosis.

Dubai
I’m Dr. mahaveer mehta from dubai. I unfortunately suffered from a severe attack of vertigo. It was extremely scary and uncomfortable. I was depressed with sleepless nights affecting work and routine. After taking an opinion from cardiologist in USA + top neurologist in India to find a cause. They suggested me various tests but I had heard about vertigo + ear clinic headed by Dr. Anita Bhandari. So I travelled to jaipur and met her. She did an evaluation and diagnosed and treatment the problem on the same day. To my surprise, I started feeling better from the same night. Next day I was 100% cured. Thank you so much for finding the cause and treatment me so quickly. I recommend this clinic eyes closed. Purpose of writing this to help people who suffer for vertigo should reach out to this place.

I had a sudden onset of vertigo lasting a few hours every day for the past many days. The doctor diagnosed me with BPPV, which was treated with Particle Repositioning Manoeuvre. I am now symptom free and can’t tell you how relived I am!
Mrs. Amrit Kaur
I was suffering from recurrent spells of vertigo for over one month. I was diagnosed with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). I was treated with Epley’sManoeuvre and was symptom free after that. I have not required any further medication since then.
Mr. Sankalp Surana
I suddenly had acute vertigo with severe spinning, nausea and vomiting. I could not even walk without support. I was diagnosed with Vestibular Neuritis. She put me on treatment with medicines and Vestibular Rehabilitation. I feel much better now.
Mrs. Suman
I was suffering from severe vertigo spells lasting 1-2 days every month since the last 5 years. I had visited many doctors but nothing helped me. After I was tested at Advanced Balance and Vertigo Clinic , I was diagnosed with Vestibular migraine. Since I started treatment my vertigo attacks are now under control.
Mr. Bajrang
I felt unsteady on getting up from bed and on fast movements. I also had difficulty in driving and focusing while moving my head. I was evaluated at NeuorequilibriumClinic.and was told that I was suffering from Bilateral Peripheral Vestibulopathy. I was put on a Vestibular Rehabilitation program. Now I feel much better.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is BPPV?
BPPV stands for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. People with BPPV experience brief dizziness that occurs when their head moves in specific positions due to an inner ear disorder. BPPV uses three medical terms that explain its nature: benign describes non-serious characteristics, paroxysmal describes sudden symptoms while positional describes triggers from changing head positions.
What causes BPPV?
The ear condition BPPV develops when otoconia calcium crystals break loose from their original position inside the inner ear and settle in the semicircular canals. The misplacement of crystals inside the ear causes brain signals to shift creating a spinning sensation. Aging together with head injuries or unexplained reasons may trigger this condition to develop.
What are the main symptoms of BPPV?
The main sign of BPPV produces brief sensations of spinning which generally persist for less than one minute. BPPV usually starts after specific movements of the head including positioning in bed or moving to face upward. Some patients develop nausea as well as unsteadiness and eye movement known as nystagmus during their attacks.
How is BPPV diagnosed?
The diagnosis of BPPV happens through symptom evaluation combined with performing the Dix-Hallpike maneuver. The doctor performs this diagnostic test by rapidly shifting your head through various angles to observe your eyes. The Dix-Hallpike maneuver will activate BPPV symptoms together with specific eye movement patterns.
What treatments are available for BPPV?
The most effective treatment for BPPV is a series of head movements called canalith repositioning procedures. The most common of these is the Epley maneuver, which aims to move the misplaced crystals back to their proper location in the inner ear. These maneuvers can often resolve symptoms quickly, sometimes even in just one or two treatments.
Can BPPV go away on its own?
Yes, BPPV can sometimes resolve on its own without treatment. However, this may take weeks or months, during which time you might experience repeated episodes of vertigo. Because the treatment is simple and effective, most doctors recommend trying the repositioning maneuvers rather than waiting for it to resolve naturally.
Is BPPV a serious condition?
BPPV causes significant disturbance but doctors label it as a condition that poses no major danger to health. The unexpected dizziness raises the probability of accidents primarily affecting older people. Early diagnosis and proper treatment remain vital due to this condition.
