Spinning sensations, dizziness or loss of balance? Our ENT specialists diagnose the cause of vertigo and provide effective treatment to get you steady again.
Vertigo is a false sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving, often accompanied by dizziness, imbalance and nausea. It is usually a symptom of an underlying problem in the inner ear or the balance (vestibular) system rather than a condition on its own.
Most vertigo is caused by inner-ear disorders such as BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis, and Meniere’s disease. Consult Dr. Gouda Ramesh, a trusted ENT doctor, for accurate diagnosis and effective vertigo treatment.
Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis — inner-ear inflammation, often after a viral infection
Meniere’s disease — fluid build-up in the inner ear
Middle or inner ear infections
Other contributing factors
Head or neck injury
Certain medications
Vestibular migraine
Problems with blood circulation
How vertigo is diagnosed
A detailed history and physical examination
Positional tests such as the Dix-Hallpike manoeuvre
Hearing tests (audiometry) and balance assessment
Imaging (MRI/CT) where needed to rule out other causes
Treatment
How vertigo is treated
Treatment depends on the cause. For BPPV, canalith repositioning manoeuvres (such as the Epley manoeuvre) are highly effective at moving the displaced inner-ear crystals and relieving symptoms.
Vestibular rehabilitation exercises help retrain your balance system, while medications can ease dizziness and nausea during acute attacks. Where vertigo is due to an underlying condition such as an infection or Meniere’s disease, treating that condition is essential.
Managing vertigo at home
Move slowly when standing up or turning your head
Sit or lie down as soon as you feel dizzy
Practise the balance exercises advised by your specialist
Reduce salt intake if you have Meniere’s disease
Avoid driving or heights during active vertigo

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about vertigo treatment.
At Gouda Ramesh ENT Hospital Y-Junction, our ENT specialists diagnose the cause of vertigo with balance and hearing tests and provide effective treatment such as repositioning manoeuvres and vestibular rehabilitation.
Most vertigo is caused by inner-ear problems such as BPPV (displaced ear crystals), vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis, and Meniere’s disease. Head injury, migraine and circulation problems can also cause it.
BPPV is usually treated with canalith repositioning manoeuvres such as the Epley manoeuvre, which move the displaced crystals in the inner ear and quickly relieve the spinning sensation.
Most vertigo is due to inner-ear problems and is not dangerous. But sudden severe vertigo with a severe headache, double vision, slurred speech, weakness or difficulty walking needs urgent medical attention.
See a specialist if you have repeated or severe episodes of vertigo, vertigo with hearing loss or ringing in the ear, or dizziness that is affecting your daily life.
