What Causes Signs Of Having Vertigo?

hello, I was in hospital yesterday and they said I have a form of vertigo, although the doctor called it something else. Said its like having a pebble in my head that came out of place. Is there anything I can do to try and fix this before I see another doctor next week?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have signs of vertigo . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo , meniere's disease , labyrinthitis , head or neck injury , brain problems such as stroke or ertain medications that cause ear damage or migraine headaches. I would suggest you to consult neurologist as you already fixed the appointment . Doctor may order CT scan or MRI along with taking history to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist for ear problem . For now avoid bending forward and drink green tea with ginger thrice a day .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
