Vertigo

Dizziness is a term used to describe a range of sensations, such as feeling faint, woozy, weak or unsteady. Dizziness that creates the false sense that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving is called vertigo.

 Symptoms
People experiencing dizziness may describe it as any of a number of sensations, such as:
  • A false sense of motion or spinning (vertigo)
  • Lightheadedness or feeling faint
  • Unsteadiness or a loss of balance
  • A feeling of floating, wooziness or heavy-headedness
These feelings may be triggered or worsened by walking, standing up or moving your head. Your dizziness may be accompanied by nausea or be so sudden or severe that you need to sit or lie down. The episode may last seconds or days and may recur.

 

 Root causes

Dizziness has many possible causes, including inner ear disturbance, dehydration, motion sickness, and medication effects. Sometimes it's caused by an underlying health condition, such as poor circulation, blood pressure issues, anemia, blood sugar issues, infection or injury.  Upper cervical misalignments can be the culprit as well.

The way dizziness makes you feel and your triggers provide clues for possible causes. How long the dizziness lasts and any other symptoms you have also help pinpoint the cause.

Inner ear problems that cause dizziness (vertigo)

Your sense of balance depends on the combined input from the various parts of your sensory system.

These include your:

  • Eyes, which help you determine where your body is in space and how it's moving
  • Sensory nerves, which send messages to your brain about body movements and positions
  • Inner ear, which houses sensors that help detect gravity and back-and-forth motion
  • Vertigo is the false sense that your surroundings are spinning or moving. With inner ear disorders, your brain receives signals from the inner ear that aren't consistent with what your eyes and sensory nerves are receiving. Vertigo is what results as your brain works to sort out the confusion.
  • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) - This condition causes an intense and brief but false sense that you're spinning or moving. These episodes are triggered by a rapid change in head movement, such as when you turn over in bed, sit up or experience a blow to the head. BPPV is the most common cause of vertigo.
  • Infection - A viral infection of the vestibular nerve, called vestibular neuritis, can cause intense, constant vertigo. If you also have sudden hearing loss, you may have labyrinthitis.
  • Meniere's disease - This disease involves the excessive buildup of fluid in your inner ear. It's characterized by sudden episodes of vertigo lasting as long as several hours. You may also experience fluctuating hearing loss, ringing in the ear and the feeling of a plugged ear.
  • Migraine - People who experience migraines may have episodes of vertigo or other types of dizziness even when they're not having a severe headache. Such vertigo episodes can last minutes to hours and may be associated with headache as well as light and noise sensitivity.
  • Circulation problems that cause dizziness

You may feel dizzy, faint or off balance if your heart isn't pumping enough blood to your brain. Causes include:

  • Drop in blood pressure - A dramatic drop in your systolic blood pressure — the higher number in your blood pressure reading — may result in brief lightheadedness or a feeling of faintness. It can occur after sitting up or standing too quickly. This condition is also called orthostatic hypotension.
  • Poor blood circulation - Conditions such as cardiomyopathy, heart attack, heart arrhythmia and transient ischemic attack could cause dizziness. And a decrease in blood volume may cause inadequate blood flow to your brain or inner ear.

Other causes of dizziness

  • Neurological conditions - Some neurological disorders — such as Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis — can lead to progressive loss of balance.
  • Medications - Dizziness can be a side effect of certain medications — such as anti-seizure drugs, antidepressants, sedatives and tranquilizers. In particular, blood pressure lowering medications may cause faintness if they lower your blood pressure too much.
  • Anxiety disorders - Certain anxiety disorders may cause lightheadedness or a woozy feeling often referred to as dizziness. These include panic attacks and a fear of leaving home or being in large, open spaces (agoraphobia).
  • Low iron levels (anemia) - Other signs and symptoms that may occur along with dizziness if you have anemia include fatigue, weakness and pale skin.
  • Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) - This condition generally occurs in people with diabetes who use insulin. Dizziness (lightheadedness) may be accompanied by sweating and anxiety.
  • Carbon monoxide poisoning - Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are often described as "flu-like" and include headache, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain and confusion.
  • Overheating and dehydration. If you're active in hot weather or if you don't drink enough fluids, you may feel dizzy from overheating (hyperthermia) or from dehydration. This is especially true if you take certain heart medications.

 

 Nutritional Support Items

 Home Remedies
  • Drink Ginger tea
  • Lemon balm tea
  • Too little sleep could be causing your vertigo. So the solution could be as simple as getting eight to nine hours of sleep each night. Be consistent with your bedtime hours and avoid napping during the day to develop better sleeping habits.
  • Change your pillow
  • Limit salt intake
  • Manage stress
  • Drink enough water
Even mild dehydration can cause dizziness. Dehydration may also cause blood pressure to drop, which can lead to feeling dizzy. In fact, mild dehydration that follows the loss of just one to two percent of your body weight can lead to dizziness. The body needs eight to 12 cups of liquids a day. While all liquids fall in this category, water is always best since it is naturally calorie-free, does not contain caffeine and isn’t a diuretic.
  • Add two parts honey to one part apple cider. Consume one tablespoon of this mixture two to three times a day for the prevention of vertigo.
  • Simple head rotations
While sitting upright on a chair, lower your head forward to touch your chin to your chest and then start rotating your head clockwise — slowly yet firmly — three times. This may release spasms in your neck muscles and thus reduce vertigo. Repeat in the opposite direction.
  • A head massage using soothing essential oil such as lavender can help calm vertigo. A good head massage will help improve blood circulation, reduce stress and simply relax you.
  • Breathing exercises
Since stress may worsen symptoms of vertigo, practice breathing exercises. Breathing techniques such as bellows breath or relaxing breath may help alleviate vertigo.

Bio-Energetic Balancing Remedies Suggestions

Depends on the cause....

A general catch all simply to address symptoms however would be to go to an empty hold tank and use the Search Criteria by setting the Type to Description and type symptoms such as vertigo or dizziness and scanning 3-5 times for each symptom.  When reviewing the scans when you determine cause you can add energies for that as well (like circulation, blood pressure issues, blood sugar issues etc.)  Also, change the Type to Item and add homeopathics listed in this article to the hold tank.  Imprint in the laser and target the causal chain issues like if it is inner ear issues  run an ear scan and then imprint and laser the ears....if it is poor circulation to the head target blood flow areas to the head, if it is Cervical 2 then target the upper cervical area, if it is blood sugar issues target the pancreas and so on.  Besides using the laser; you can imprint into a remedy that correlates to the cause (like if inner ear EQ Ototone, EQMyrrhcom or EQ Mulleincom if blood sugar EQ Hypoglycemia etc.)
