Be careful Vertigo disorder to attack you

Maybe you and the family never felt dizzy as if – if you or the environment was spinning – the play? This is called Vertigo.

Definition of Vertigo:  most people dizzy “feeling as if – by the patient moving or spinning or as if – if it moves around the patient or spinning, usually accompanied by nausea and loss of balance”. Vertigo may last only a few moments or may continue for several hours or even days could recur at any time. Patients often feel better when lying still, but the vertigo may continue even if the patient does not move at all.

Vertigo disorder usually occurs because of the vestibular system disorders (eg there is disorder in the structure of the inner ear, vestibular nerve, and cerebellum / cerebellum). Vestibular system is responsible for integrating sensory stimuli and movement of the body, except that the system served to keep objects in visual focus as the body moves. When the head moves, signals are transmitted to the labyrinth, located in the inner ear. Maze and then bring the information to the vestibular nerve is then transmitted to the brain stem and cerebellum, which functions to control balance, posture, and motor coordination.

The cause – the cause of vertigo: body position sense and balance control through the organs of balance located in the inner ear. This organ has a nerve associated with a specific area in the brain. Vertigo can be caused by abnormalities in the ear, in the nerve connecting the ear to the brain in the brain itself. Vertigo can also be associated with abnormalities of vision or change in blood pressure that occurs arrived – arrived. But in general the causes of Vertigo:
+ Environmental conditions (carsick, seasick / Motion Sickness)
+ Medicine – drugs (alcohol)
+ Circulatory disorders (temporary brain dysfunction due to reduced blood flow to one part of the brain)
+ Abnormalities in the ear (calcium deposits in one of the semicircular canal in the inner ear)
1. Inner ear infection because of bacteria
2. Herpes  Zooster
3. Labirintitis (infection of the labyrinth in the ear)
4. Vestibular nerve inflammation
5. Meniere’s disease

o Abnormalities Nerologis
1. Multiple sclerosis
2. Skull fractures with injury to the labyrinth, or both nerve
3. Brain tumor
4. That suppress tumor vestibular nerve

Before starting treatment, must be determined the nature and causes of vertigo. Abnormal eye movements showed abnormalities in the function of the inner ear or the nerves that connect it to the brain. Nistagmus is rapid eye movement from left to right or from top to bottom. The direction of movement can help in diagnosis. Nistagmus can be stimulated by moving the patient’s head is arrived – arrived or with cold water dripping into the ear.

To test the balance, the patient was asked to stand and then walk in a straight line, beginning with his eyes open, then with eyes closed. Hearing test can often determine the ear abnormalities that affect balance and hearing. In addition we can personally make a vestibular rehabilitation therapy physical therapy to cure vertigo, goal of therapy is to reduce headaches, improve balance and prevent falls by restoring a functioning vestibular system. Patients do the exercises so that the brain can adjust and replace the causes of vertigo. The success of this therapy depends on several factors including patient age, cognitive function (memory, ability to follow directions, ability and movement coordination, and overall patient health (including the central nervous system) as well as physical strength. Patients who come to the doctor to undergo some training which will train the balance in the higher levels, including head movements, eye movements and walking.
We can do it with the help of another person but should be the heart – the heart and not be rash, do the following:

* First – all sitting in a straight and limp.
* Sleep with the help of the two to lull you gently – gently (body laid to the rear)
* Is expected under the head of the bed with the help of the two to hold (play slowly – slowly to the right and turn slowly – slowly to the left)
* Body rotated to the left and right slowly – slowly (expected with the help of others to the head)
* Stand up slowly – slowly to the front (hopefully with the help of others to wake)
