For those who suffer from vertigo or dizziness it may feel like your head is spinning or maybe the room. The exact cause for vertigo or dizziness is not always known for sure (and that is frustrating to many). However some known causes include: head trauma, ear/sinus infections, Meniere’s Disease, prolonged bed rest, eye troubles, and other neurological issues.

Regardless, those suffering always seek a solution. The solution often will be based on the exact triggers for the individual’s dizziness. Some types of dizziness are more easily treated than others…For example, someone suffering from Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) tend to have their symptoms triggered with changes in body or head position.

Individuals with BPPV will get dizzy when they get up from bed, roll over in bed, bend down to tie their shoes, or possibly turn their head “too fast”. They will often feel like the room is spinning for less than 30 seconds. And then they will be just fine until they perform a provoking movement again. This condition is easily treated with specific head repositioning maneuvers performed by a healthcare provider who knows the treatment.

Another example is a person who gets dizzy with reading, staring at a computer, or trying to shift eye focus rapidly may have an issue with vestibular ocular reflex (VOR). An individual with this issue may improve with alteration of a glasses prescription or by completing a specific series of exercises designed to challenge the VOR and balance systems.

No matter the exact cause or reason for the vertigo or dizziness there is likely a solution for the person. There is no need to suffer in silence and avoid activity. Talk with your physician about finding a provider skilled in treating dizziness.
