Brief Answer:
You might be suffering from Benign paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
Detailed Answer:
Hi,thank you for your query on health care magic.
I can understand your concern.
Looking at your symptoms,you might be suffering from Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) causes short episodes of vertigo or dizziness when moving your head in certain directions.Some of the patients affected by benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)also report the onset of tinnitus(the perception of noise or ringing in the ears) shortly before or in association with the positional vertigo.
About 50% of dizziness in older people is due to BPPV.
Small crystals of calcium carbonate break loose from their correct position in the balance organ and collect as debris within another part. With head movements, these crystals move, sending false signals to the brain about how you are moving.
It would be advisable to consult an Otolaryngologist Doctor.
Tests for BPPV are a form of positional testing where you are asked to lay flat on a clinical bench and the tester will observe your eyes for a phenomenon called nystagmus (which is an involuntary eye movement). Sometimes this also includes videonystagmography which is a test where a pair of video goggles records these eye movements.
Treatment is usually by returning the debris to its correct location with a particle-repositioning manoeuvre. These include the Epley and the Semont-liberatory manoeuvres and Brandt Daroff exercises.These are very effective in treating BPPV. Some are performed in hospital balance clinics and others as a set of home exercises.
You may take medicine like Vertin(Betahistine)-it will help in symptomatic relief of vertigo and it might also help in reducing Tinnitus
If you experience dizziness associated with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) be aware of the possibility of losing your balance, which can lead to falling and serious injury,sit down immediately when you feel dizzy,use good lighting if you get up at night.
BPPV is a condition that usually goes away on its own after several weeks or months even without any treatment.
Hope this answers your question.I would be happy to answer if you have any follow-up questions.Take care.
