Possible FAQs and Answers
Is Vertigo a disease?
Vertigo is a symptom of an underlying problem. Diagnosing the root cause is the first step towards getting effective treatment.
Can vertigo be classified as life-threatening?
Vertigo is not commonly considered lethal and can be treated using medications, Maneuver/Rehabilitation therapy, a few lifestyle changes, or a combination of these. However, some forms, similar to the Central Vertigo, can have a more dramatic presentation.
Is Vertigo always caused by a problem in your brain?
A host of issues can trigger vertigo. While inner ear problems are one of the major causes, there are other reasons as well. Some of them are medications, ear infections or inflammation, age-related changes, injury to the ear or brain, neurological issues, stress, hormonal fluctuations, and cardiovascular problems (including high blood pressure).
Several cases of vertigo are usually traced back to disturbances in the vestibular system which helps maintain balance and keeps us aware of our body’s position.
How long can a vertigo episode last?
A vertigo episode can be mild, meaning it typically lasts a few seconds. However, it can also be severe and persist for several days.
Can lying down help ease vertigo symptoms?
Lying down and closing their eyes can worsen the vertigo symptoms for some people. However, it is equally important to avoid activities that can lead to accidents — driving, climbing stairs, walking, etc — during a vertigo episode.
Is vertigo set off by acrophobia (fear of heights)?
According to some research, vertigo can be triggered by the fear of heights, also known as acrophobia. Individuals can feel uneasy when they are in an elevated position from the ground. They may experience a spinning sensation with a reduced ability to orient themselves adequately.
