Vertigo is a false sensation of spinning or movement, often caused by problems in the inner ear or balance system. As an ENT specialist in Nashik, Dr. Sudarshen Aahire diagnoses the exact cause of dizziness and provides targeted treatment to restore balance and confidence.
Symptoms of Vertigo & Balance Disorders
- A spinning sensation, even while sitting or lying still
- Dizziness triggered by head movement or rolling over in bed
- Unsteadiness or a feeling of being pulled to one side
- Nausea, vomiting or cold sweats during episodes
- Ringing in the ear (tinnitus) or a blocked-ear feeling
Common Causes
- BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) — brief spinning with head position changes
- Vestibular neuritis / labyrinthitis — inner-ear inflammation
- Meniere’s disease — vertigo with hearing loss and tinnitus
- Migraine-related dizziness and cervical (neck) causes
How Vertigo Is Diagnosed
A thorough ear examination, balance and positional testing, and hearing assessment help identify whether the cause lies in the inner ear, the balance nerve or elsewhere.
Treatment Options
1. Repositioning Manoeuvres
For BPPV, simple in-clinic manoeuvres (such as the Epley manoeuvre) can relieve vertigo quickly.
2. Medication
Short-term medicines control acute vertigo, nausea and inner-ear inflammation.
3. Vestibular Rehabilitation
Guided balance exercises retrain the brain and inner ear, especially for recurrent or long-standing dizziness.
When to Seek Help
Recurrent dizziness, vertigo with hearing loss, or balance problems that affect daily activities should be evaluated promptly.
Consult Dr. Sudarshen Aahire in Nashik to find the exact cause of your vertigo and a treatment plan to get you steady again.
