Dizziness or vertigo is a disorder of the vestibular system, accompanied by disturbances in balance, vision, and hearing. A person feels an illusory movement of surrounding objects and feels unstable in space. Problems with the vestibular system resemble the sensations that occur after a sudden stop of a carousel, where objects seem to continue moving, creating the impression that the carousel has not stopped.
Causes
Vertigo can occur after experiencing severe stress or with high blood pressure. If dizziness is accompanied by severe headaches, the cause may be cervical osteochondrosis. If a person suffers from neuritis or vestibular inflammation, the manifestations of this disease include spinning sensations. The most serious cause of vertigo is tumors in the brain.
Symptoms of Vestibular Dizziness
Along with prolonged dizziness, other symptoms may manifest, indicating the need to consult a neurologist. Acute symptoms include vomiting and nausea, high fever, and muscle pain in the arms and legs. A signal to raise the alarm may be vertigo lasting more than one hour. Those who have experienced these symptoms know that with such a disorder, vision darkens, creating the impression that a veil is hanging over the eyes, and one is about to lose consciousness.
Diagnosis of Vestibular Dizziness in Israel
Quality treatment and accurate diagnosis in Israel are conducted by a physician specializing in this field - a neurologist. To make an accurate diagnosis, it is important to use all the most modern diagnostic methods, for example, the most common method today is MRI, as well as audiography, nuclear magnetic resonance, and X-rays of the head and neck. Great attention is paid to the condition of the eyes, so special computers are used to examine the back wall of the eyeball, the optic nerve, and the retina.
Treatment of Vestibular Dizziness in Israel
Although medications are used for treatment in Israel, caution is advised, as the main goal of treatment is not to eliminate the symptoms of the disorder but to remove the causes of vertigo. After thorough diagnosis, the doctor may prescribe treatment involving manipulations on the spine.
Prevention
It is important to avoid exposure to toxic substances, be moderate in alcohol consumption, and not smoke.
