It senses movement and overcompensates, leading to a spinning sensation, weakness and faintness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Causes of dizziness include low blood pressure, anemia dehydration, heat-related disorders, endocrine system disorders (e.g., diabetes, thyroid disease), heart conditions, high blood pressure, viral and bacterial infections, head trauma, hyperventilation, neurological disorders and certain medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several balance disorders are commonly associated with dizziness and\/or vertigo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearingaidsmobile.com\/balance\/bppv\/\">Benign Paroxyysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)<\/a> involves brief but intense periods of vertigo that are triggered by specific changes in head position. It occurs when tiny crystals in the otolith organs become dislodged and migrate to the semicircular canals.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearingaidsmobile.com\/balance\/menieres-disease\/\">Meniere\u2019s disease<\/a> is a chronic condition that causes vertigo, tinnitus, fullness in the ear and fluctuating hearing loss that may eventually become permanent. Meniere\u2019s is usually confined to one ear, and though its cause is unknown, it may be the result of abnormal fluid buildup in the inner ear.<\/li><li>Labyrinthitis is an inflammation of the inner ear usually caused by an infection. Its symptoms include vertigo, temporary hearing loss and tinnitus.<\/li><li>Central vertigo occurs when there is a problem in the brain, usually affecting the brainstem or the cerebellum. These parts of the brain are responsible for interactions between the visual and balance systems; any disturbance can lead to vertigo. The most common cause of central vertigo is a migraine headache. Other less common conditions that can trigger central vertigo include stroke, tumors, acoustic neuroma, multiple sclerosis, alcohol and certain drugs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is Dizziness\/Vertigo Treated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment varies depending on the type and severity of vertigo. Some forms disappear without treatment. The most common type, BPPV, responds well to head maneuvers while other types are successfully treated with medication. When the condition persists, physical therapy can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/hearingaidsmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ThinkstockPhotos-160566891-1280x853.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hearingaidsmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ThinkstockPhotos-160566891-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/hearingaidsmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ThinkstockPhotos-160566891-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hearingaidsmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ThinkstockPhotos-160566891-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hearingaidsmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ThinkstockPhotos-160566891.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Call Premier Medical Group for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dizziness is one of the leading health complaints in the United States and affects an estimated nine million people annually.
