What are the causes of vertigo?
Vertigo is caused by diseases of the central nervous system or inner ear, such as the brain and cerebellum. Internal ear diseases such as labyrinthitis, vestibular neuritis and Meniere’s disease can cause vertigo. Acoustic neurinoma is a lice tumor originating from the auditory nerve. If this tumor, both vertigo and tinnitus and hearing loss occur. Blockage of the brain vessels or cerebral hemorrhage is also the cause of vertio. Another disease with vertigo is multiple sclerosis (MS). Vertigo may occur after head strokes and injuries to the neck. Diabetes, low blood sugar and panic attacks are also seen vertigo.
What is the treatment of vertigo?
The treatment of the vertigo is based on the underlying cause. For example, if there is a middle ear infection, the infection should be treated with drugs or surgery. If you have Menier’s disease, salt-free diet and diuretic drugs are recommended. Physical therapy can be used in the treatment of vertigo. Persons with vertigo should avoid caffeine, tobacco and alcohol.
