Treatment of Vertigo
Knowing the cause of a particular illness can greatly assist in its treatment and lucky for people that have vertigo, a lot is already known about how the illness comes about. It is caused either through a problem with the inner ear (the part of your body the regulates the balance overall), a problem with the brain (the part of your body that sends the signals to the inner ear to help it regulate balance) or a problem with the nerves between the inner ear and the brain that are responsible for the regulation of communication between those two parts of your body. Because of this, treatment for vertigo takes three primary forms, each one based on one particular cause of the illness.
Inner Ear Cause
With the inner ear cause of vertigo, the best way to do the treatment is through the use of something called vestibular rehabilitation. Simply put, this is a series of treatments and therapies that are collectively designed to correct any inner ear problems that you might have. Once those problems are correct, assuming that the inner ear problem is what is causing your vertigo in the first place, you can be sure that the problem will cease to be a problem. If the treatment goes really well you should see improvement in as little as two weeks. Most people that are treated for inner ear caused vertigo have the problem go away within six months.
Brain Cause
While the most common cause of vertigo is indeed a
problem with inner ear balance, there can also be problems within the brain that can cause the illness as well. There is nothing to be alarmed with however as these problems are not life threatening, but rather are just slight misalignments with the way certain neurotransmitters within the brain relay signals to the inner ear. The way that these are treated is through the use of a group of substances collectively known as neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitors. These substances have the ability to fix what is wrong with the brain and just like with inner ear vertigo, the vast majority of people that suffer from this condition see vast improvements and sometimes complete elimination of the symptoms within six months of starting the treatment.Nerve Cause
If the problem is caused by the nerves that are supposed to relay signals from the brain to the inner ear, then there are a plethora of treatments available. These include things like antihistamines, calcium antagonists and the Epley manoeuvre, all of which can be performed or administered by a well trained health delivery professional.
Therefore, the first step in any vertigo treatment is to make sure you get your doctor to diagnose what the problem is and then suggest one of the treatments that have been discussed above. Doctors are the ultimate resource when it comes to problems like this, so make sure you visit yours as soon as possible if you are someone that is suffering or has suffered in the past from a condition of vertigo.

hi…i am experiencing symptoms of vertigo…it seems that my surrounding is spinning…and yesterday i vomited around 7 times from 3.30 pm until 8 pm…
i am from the Philippines…i live on one of the islands that is really far from the capital(i am from dumaguete city, negros oriental…i need to cure my vertigo because i am a 27 year old single mother of a 4 year old child…and i am the only person who is taking care of my child’s needs…
however, in a third world country, such as mine, i don’t know what kind of doctor to see…and if there are doctors that can help me, i have to go to Cebu City (a bigger island 4 hours away from where i reside) to get MRI or any other head scan…
i am only earning enough for my kid and me…so i am asking if there is any natural or herbal remedy to make the symptoms go away…i have been absent for 2 days at work already and i cant afford to loose some days in my job as i am paid by the day and i still dont have health insurance as im still new to my job…
if anybody can help me as to what kind of treatment i can do on my own, please help…thank you everyone….

I suffer from Vertigo, I had it last December it lasted 2 days. THis week it is my worst nightmare, it started Since Saturday, with severe Headache, a little bit Dizzy, but on Monday my head was spinning like hell, I couldnt finish any sentence, no concentration, severe headache, cold and sweating, and everything was turning around me, difficulty with walking, I was feeling so tired, Now it is Wednesday it became lighter, but I am so afraid to turn my head, or to stand up and walk or turn on my bed, I was very nausea,vomiting. The difficult part of it is that people dont understand, you just get it one day on the other and when you explain it to people they dont understand they dont care. It is not easy to deal with it. Imagine being afraid to get out of your bed and go to the toilet or you need someone there to help. I just want to know if this is normal having Vertigo for days?? Iam be treated for vertigo. My mom had the same symptoms for years and it was no vertigo she had a brain tumor which became cancerous and a few years ago she died. I am using Betaserc, 6 a day. and my third day no result yet. Do you think I have vertigo or is it something else, does Vertigo leave the same day, or only lasts for a few hours or can you feel it for days?? Thank you I am waiting for your response… Thank you in advance for your attention. Regards, Maritza
