Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I experience vertigo when I am in bed. I have pain in my ear. I also have nausea and lightheadedness. This condition is only there when I move my head. Why is this happening? What is the possible treatment for my problem? This happened to me thrice in the past four years.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your symptoms are suggestive of inner ear problems. How long does this vertigo last each time when you turn your head? Is there any blurring of vision? Your symptoms could be due to a problem with balancing organs inside your inner ear. This condition is called BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). You need to do some exercises called vestibular rehabilitation exercises. You can access them through the internet. They help you more than any kind of medication. These exercises will help you recover from vertigo.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
