Benign Positional Vertigo And Dizziness Treatment
One of the most frequent health complaints is dizziness
. And there are many types of dizziness treatments such as surgery, medication and vertigo exercises. Dizziness is technically known as vertigo, it can be defined as the feeling of movement when you are not moving. There are many different causes of dizziness ranging from non-serious conditions to more serious conditions. This article will focus on the dizziness caused by BPPV or benign positional vertigo.
Often incorrectly used interchangeably are the terms dizziness and lightheadedness. At first they may not seem that different and also it may feel unimportant to make the distinction but they are different and have different causes and therefore treatment options. The medical approach to dizziness treatment of using drugs or medication is not a good long term cure. Herbal remedies or natural options are also commonly used, along with vertigo exercises.
Lightheadedness can be described as a feeling like you are about to pass out or faint. You may feel slightly dizzy but you will not experience the feeling of you or your environment moving. The feeling of lightheadedness is often helped with lying down. You can feel nausea or vomit when you are lightheaded. The most common cause of lightheadedness is when you get up from lying down or being seated and move to a standing position. The change in posture requires a change in blood pressure to keep enough blood to the brain and head. When this is insufficient the feeling of lightheadedness will result. This is called orthostatic hypotension or and can result from low blood pressure.
Vertigo is defined as the feeling that you or your surroundings are moving when they are actually still. It is often described as feeling like you are turning, spinning, tilting or falling. Associated with the vertigo is commonly nausea or a feeling of sickness in the stomach. Your balance may be affected and standing or walking may be challenging, which can lead to increase chance of falls. Vertigo is most commonly caused by a condition called BPPV or benign positional vertigo. This happens as a result of loose debris in the inner ear balance organs. The small debris affect the balance receptors and the result is a feeling of vertigo.
There are many touted remedies and dizziness treatments for BPPV or benign positional vertigo. The use of medicine or drugs are usually aimed at decreasing the sensitivity of the nervous system to help lessen the feelings of nausea and dizziness. While providing the person with some relief, they do little to correct the underlying problem. Natural remedies are the same. Most are aimed at relieving associated nausea. The root Ginger is commonly used for this purpose. Although a natural alternative it still does not correct the problem of BPPV.
There are safe and scientifically proven dizziness treatments for BPPV or benign positional vertigo. These are drug free and do not involve surgery. The goal of these treatments is to correct the cause or underlying problem of the BPPV or benign positional vertigo. They do not simply mask or cover up the symptoms.
