Vertigo - When the Motion Just Won’t Stop
If you suffer with vertigo, you probably feel as though you’re on a merry-go-round that won’t stop.
Interestingly, the feeling tends to feel more like objects are moving or spinning rather than the person who suffers from vertigo.
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.
The older we get, the more common it becomes. In addition gender plays a role as more women than men tend to suffer.
About half of ongoing cases are due to inner ear problems such as labyrinthitis.
Head position changes are controlled by the vestibular system. Labyrinthitis inflames the inner ear which then affects the vestibular system.
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.
Since people do not always suffer for more than a few days, they may not seek treatment.
The reason vertigo is so often untreated is because typically the symptoms will vanish on their own within a relatively short period of time, sometimes in just a few days.
Unfortunately, the problem reoccurs and can last weeks or even longer.
Many times the person suffering with the dizzy spells doesn’t even relate the episodes together, dismissing one as being too fatigued, perhaps the next one as being associated with a severe headache.
The problem then persists. Once diagnosed, medication is usually suggested such as promethazine.
The drugs are usually either promethazine or meclizine. Some brand names are Dramamine, Meni-D, Adgan and others.
But like all medications, there are contraindications and potential side effects associated with taking the drug. And it doesn’t address the cause of the dizziness; it simply allows you to control the symptoms.
What most people don’t know, and something that most doctors don’t tell you, is that there could be another cause for your vertigo. Something besides an inner ear infection.
Muscular tension in the ear area can in fact be causing the problem.
As odd as that may sound, if you have tension in the muscles around your eyes, ears, or your body line from the top of your head to your pelvic bone, you may experience vertigo or episodes of dizziness as a result.
Medication does not have to be the only option. I created a natural program that has provided relief for thousands of sufferers.
Feeling dizzy can be a thing of the past without medication. My program consists of a few easy 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.
