Vertigo Tests

About the Condition:

Vertigo is more than just dizziness—it’s a serious condition that creates a spinning sensation and can affect balance, vision, and overall quality of life. It often arises from inner ear disorders such as infections, fluid buildup (Ménière’s disease), or BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), where tiny calcium crystals inside the ear become displaced. At Sanjeevani ENT Clinic, specialized tests including balance assessments, inner ear function checks, and head-positioning manoeuvres are performed to identify the root cause. Based on the diagnosis, patients receive targeted treatments such as medication, physiotherapy, or repositioning exercises to restore stability and confidence in daily activities.

Symptoms:

• Dizziness or spinning sensation
• Loss of balance
• Nausea or vomiting
• Ear pressure or ringing
• Difficulty walking straight

Diagnosis:

Specialized balance tests and inner ear function checks help pinpoint the cause.

Treatment by Dr. Jashnani:

Depending on the condition, he may perform repositioning maneuvers (for BPPV), prescribe medicines, or recommend physiotherapy. He also guides patients on lifestyle changes to prevent future episodes.
