Paroxysmal vertigo and vestibular

paroxysmal vertigo - a special loss of balance seizures that occur due to sudden changes in body position or head. Usually such a state proceeds wavy: a person feels an improvement and a sudden deterioration in the condition. Paroxysmal dizziness is dangerous because it arises spontaneously, so it must be treated.

The vestibular pathology type is due to a violation of the human vestibular apparatus. As a rule, it occurs when performing sudden movements. Sometimes this condition can be congenital and manifest in children while staying in moving vehicles, riding on swings, etc.

In adults, the following diseases can contribute to the appearance of vestibular vertigo:

  • Ménière's disease;
  • labyrinthite;
  • neuronitis.

Vestibular dizziness has these symptoms:

  • nausea;
  • loss of balance;
  • pallor of the skin;
  • increased sweating;
  • shortness of breath;
  • loss of balance;
  • sharp jumps in blood pressure;
  • increased heart rate.

orthostatic dizziness

orthostatic dizziness inherent in elderly people suffering from such diseases and conditions:

  • acute heart failure;
  • arterial hypertension;
  • diabetes mellitus;
  • atherosclerosis of vessels;
  • reception of diuretics;
  • taking antidepressants.

Orthostatic type of pathology is diagnosed when in an upright position in a human blood pressure is lowered, and the balance is lost.

It's important to know! To reveal a pathology is rather difficult, since such symptoms are inherent in many serious diseases. As a rule, the final diagnosis is based on the collection of anamnesis.

Inconsistent dizziness

Inexhaustible dizziness Non-systematic dizziness is the most difficult to diagnose and explain. It can occur with a sharp movement and expressed in violation of gait, balance, as well as visual disorders.

Most often, the condition occurs due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system( osteoporosis, scoliosis, osteochondrosis, arthrosis, etc.).Degenerative changes in the spine lead to the transmission of blood vessels that carry blood to the brain. Patients experience a short-term oxygen starvation. This, in turn, causes frequent attacks of dizziness, which can occur at any time, delivering a lot of inconvenience to a person.

To get rid of osteochondrosis and similar diseases, therapeutic gymnastics, massage and physiotherapy are very effective methods of treatment.

The most common pathology is a lipotypic condition. In medicine, it is characterized as pre-occlusive: a person suffers from an attack of faintness, weakness, loss of strength and visual impairment. His heart rate increases and there is a ringing in his ears. In some cases, there may be a sharp drop in blood pressure.

Another common cause of the symptom is a disorder of blood circulation and vascular disease. If you do not correct the root cause of this condition in time, it can lead to serious complications.

Important! Dizziness is not a disease. This is a sign of any violation in the body!

The big mistake people make when dizzy is fear and panic. This is an extremely wrong reaction, because this way the person aggravates his condition even more. In the event of an attack, one should sit down and recover breathing. Only after a few minutes sight is clear and the attack ends.
