Vertigo & Meniere’s Disease

Often resulting from inner ear problems, vertigo is a feeling of spinning or dizziness. Meniere's disease, a chronic inner ear condition that compromises hearing and balance, is one frequently occurring reason for vertigo. It results from fluid accumulating in the inner ear, which causes vertigo episodes, hearing loss, tinnitus—ringing in the ear—and ear fullness.
Meniere's illness can be erratic; episodes of vertigo might span minutes to hours. Along with these episodes, one may experience nausea, vomiting, and confusion. Genetics, immunological reactions, and viral infections may all play a part, though the exact cause is unknown.
Treatment emphasises symptom control with dietary changes (lowering salt intake), medications (diuretics, anti-nausea drugs), vestibular therapy, and, in extreme cases, surgery. Changing lifestyle choices, such as limiting caffeine and managing stress, can help lower the frequency of episodes. Prevention of permanent hearing loss and enhancement of quality of life depend critically on early diagnosis and treatment.
