What’s Causing My Dizziness?
If you are experiencing dizziness or vertigo, there is hope for you. Dizziness and vertigo is a result of an imbalance of the Vestibular System, which is a series of canals and tubes in your ear that are responsible for telling you if your head is moving. This system is highly calibrated and is very precise when giving your brain feedback about which direction your head is moving, how fast and where your head is in space.
There are many things that can cause an imbalance in the vestibular system. Because the vestibular system is close to the outside of your ear, it is the first system that is impacted with any head injuries. Concussions or simply a blow to the head can cause lasting dizziness and vertigo. Other things include infection, pressure, altitude, low blood pressure, or even metabolic issues.
The main way to overcome your dizziness is first to identify what’s causing the dizziness, and then to treat it appropriately depending on what the cause of the dizziness is.
Dr. Minh Tran of Norcal Brain Center in San Jose, CA has treated many forms of dizziness and vertigo successfully without the use of drugs or surgery. Whether you’ve had the dizziness for a week or a decade, it’s likely that you can feel much better with the right treatment.
