Vertigo Cures

When you hear a ringing, swishing, clicking, or whistling sound in your ears then that probably is tinnitus. Tinnitus is a symptom of an underlying condition that occurs in different part of the ear, especially in the inner ear. Many people all over the world are affected by it and for others the tinnitus problem may be too severe. There are many kinds of tinnitus and the most common one that people experience is the inner ear tinnitus.

The inner ear tinnitus has many different sounds and it can be caused by many different things. For example, when you hear a clicking sound then it may be caused by some muscles in the inner ear contracting.

The inner ear tinnitus may also be caused by an inner ear infection. Having infections in the ear have been proven as common causes of tinnitus. For people who have vertigo, this is a very common symptom especially when the Labyrinthitis is inflamed. The inflammation of the Labyrinthitis, which is located in the inner ear, can cause loss of balance which is mostly attributed to vertigo.

Inner ear tinnitus can also be attributed to allergies. There are some allergic reactions to food that could affect the inner ear and when this happens, sufferers often times experience this kind of tinnitus. This is probably one of the worse causes of tinnitus because other than the allergic reactions, you also have to deal with the annoying sounds from tinnitus.

Another common cause of inner ear tinnitus is from inner ear damage. There are microscopic nerve endings found in the inner ear and when these nerves are damaged then you will definitely experience tinnitus. The damage can be caused by many different things and one is from old age. Old people experience age-related hearing loss because these microscopic nerves are damaged through time. This often happens when a person reaches the age of sixty and as the damage worsens so does the tinnitus worsens as well.

The inner ear can also be damaged because of long exposure to loud sounds or noises. The ear is very sensitive to sound that is why when it is exposed to loud sounds like the ones from construction sites or concerts, the nerves get damaged. That is why if you want to prevent tinnitus from happening then care for your ears by not exposing it to very loud sounds or noises.

When the inner ear has too much earwax it can also cause tinnitus. Earwax blockage or impact has been one of the proven causes of tinnitus. That is why using Q-tips too often may not be good for your ear because it pushes the earwax into the ear causing blockage to the inner ear.

Having tinnitus is no walk in the park especially if you are experiencing the severe kind of tinnitus. That is why if you do not want to be bothered by the annoying sounds that tinnitus brings then it is important to know how to care for your ears, especially the inner ears, to avoid it being damage and to avoid your tinnitus from worsening.

Inner ear dizziness affects people of all ages, male or female and ethnic background. It is among the most common problems that patients see doctors for. Statistics reveal that around 5 million people in America suffer from inner ear dizziness every year. It is estimated that for around five percent of those people the problem will last longer than three months duration. A wide variety of disorders exist that can result in vertigo. There are also equally as many remedies of treatments of dizziness.

Because so many things can have an effect on our balance, there can be many causes of vertigo and dizziness. They can be as innocent as an ear infection and dehydration to more serious causes like a stroke or tumor. The most common cause of inner ear dizziness is called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, benign positional vertigo or BPPV. The mechanism of this type of vertigo is well known and it has classic symptoms. Although commonly treated with medication the most effective way is not with medication.

The mechanism behind benign positional vertigo or BPPV is little debris inside the inner ear. Located inside the inner ear are our balance organs and receptors which are filled with a fluid like substance. For some reason sometimes little debris can become loose in the fluid and with particular head movement may disrupt the balance receptors. When disrupted the receptors will send incorrect signals to the brain saying we are moving. This results in the sensation of moving when we are still, which is dizziness and vertigo.

The feelings of inner ear dizziness is a feeling of movement when you are still. You may feel the room spinning around you. The triggering factors of BPPV are very classic. The vertigo episodes are brought on by certain head movements. Typically looking upwards, rolling over in bed, bending over and turning the head could being on an episode of vertigo. The episode of vertigo is short in duration being less than 10 seconds. It will not last for hours. There can be a feeling of nausea but actual vomiting is less common.

Usually medication is recommended to treat the symptoms. They can help lessen the symptoms because they dampen the activity of the nervous system which results in less feeling of dizziness and less nausea. But they do nothing for the particles in the inner ear that are causing the problem. So the cause of the problem is left untreated and just addressing the symptoms is the focus of medication. It is a much better, longer term solution to address the cause of the problem and the symptoms will naturally be taken care of.

There is good news for inner ear dizziness sufferers. There is a safe and effective solution that does not involve the use of drugs or surgery. This is a medically researched procedure and has been around for more than 10 years. Why it is not more commonly recommended than medication is not really known.

My inner ear infection started like this…

I was doing work at my computer desk and felt a “surge” through my head for a second, like someone pushed my head to the side.

I stopped for a second and thought to myself…”wooo, that was weird dizzy feeling.” And went back to work.

I think it happened again that same day and I thought the same thing.

Well, the next day it happened again while I was at my computer desk and I thought the same thing….”woooo dizzy again.” Maybe I was working too hard.

An hour or so later, the same feeling, like my head was being pushed to the side.

“Everyone gets a dizzy feeling” I thought to myself, but I meant like once or twice a year. This seemed to be coming on a regular basis.

This continued for another day or 2 with those “jolts” of dizziness. It happened once when I was away from my desk and by now it was a feeling I was familiar with. I mentioned these dizzy feelings to my wife as I was becoming concerned and she replied “We’ll have to watch that”.

Well the next day, I forgot exactly when, all of a sudden the jolts increased but even worse was the strange feeling that came on inside me.

It is so hard to explain, as I never had a feeling like that. Almost like your chest is shaking. The inside of your chest. Nothing that would be visible to anyone. It is feeling of panic and dread.

I had to sit down and then eventually lie down. My wife was there and was concerned “Telling me to lie down”. So I did, for a while. I felt a little better so I got back up. But it came back. This odd feeling surging through my body.

I remember trying to put my son’s tricycle together and all I could focus on was how weird I felt. My heart would feel like it was racing, I would feel flushed, but not really…so hard to describe!

Well the bike didn’t get finished. I had to stop as the strange feelings increased and got worse again.

That was it. My labyrinthitis / vestibular neuritis had shown itself. And it was to remain with me a long long time.

I felt like I was having a heart attack.

If you have ever read about the symptoms of a heart attack or heard anyone describe the symptoms, it is easy to understand why.

I had some pains in my chest. I had a pain in my left arm. I was panicked. I had this feeling of dread. It was horrible, It was like my body was racing, heart pounding, blood flowing, just horrific.

I forgot exactly when the dizziness increased but it doesn’t matter. All I know is, what were once little jolts a few times a day was now a jolt every 20 seconds or so.

I never really developed that constant spinning feeling, like you do when you turn yourself around for 10 times really quickly and then stop. The classic vertigo sensation.

My dizziness was like this…

I felt as if someone every so often would push my head to the side, or push it down towards the ground. Except of course there was nobody touching my head.

Sometimes it felt like an elephant was standing on my head for a second, the pressure was that great.

A jolt is the best way to describe my feelings of dizziness. Each jolt lasted a second and they happened every 20 seconds or so.

Sometimes I would go longer between jolts, like around a minute or so. But, it was always there.

I suffered from nausea that seemed to almost be constant. I never vomited, though I came close once while in the bathroom.

This was my initial episode.

There is more to my story, but that can give you a good overview and for those of you who have this illness, I’m sure you can identify.

There are some people who get over this illness in 10-14 days. Then there are the other people who suffer the ultra-strange symptoms, feelings, anxiety, pain, etc for months if not years.

By applying my knowledge of nutrition and health including dietary supplements, changes, and certain movement exercises, I was able to get over this illness.

When I started really going strong with my own regimen, the illness faded quicker and I saw real improvement in a shorter amount of time than was taking place before.

You can overcome your illness. I am proof. Other people have been documented to get over this illness also. So there is hope.

Is dizziness affecting your life? Do you have trouble keeping your balance? These problems can make normal activities like walking hard. They can also make activities such as driving dangerous. You may worry that it’s all in your head. But there is a reason why people feel dizzy. The feeling may come without warning. Maybe you turned over in bed and the room started spinning. After a bad episode, you might even fear you’ve had a stroke.

The source of your episodes depends on your symptoms.

Vertigo is the feeling of spinning. It may happen if the brain receives conflicting signals from eyes, inner ear and body.

Everyone knows that carnival rides can make you dizzy. But what causes dizziness and faintness when you’re just standing still? Vertigo is often caused by inner ear problems.

Balance is a group effort of the eyes, inner ear, joints, and muscles. They each send signals to the brain about body position and head movement. Then the brain uses this information to achieve balance. When an inner ear problem exists, the brain may receive conflicting signals. This can cause vertigo.

Inside the inner ear are three semicircular canals. Each canal contains tiny hairs, crystals, and fluid. These structures help the canals sense up-and-down, forward and backward, and side-to-side motion. Nerves carry the signals from the canals to the brain.

Signals from throughout the body travel to the brain. Once the signals arrive, the brain decides what they mean. Sometimes signals arrive, the brain decides what they mean. Sometimes signals conflict. Have you ever sat on a stopped train and watched a moving train go by? When that happens, your eyes signal that you’re moving. But your inner ear and body signal that you’re still. The brain weighs conflicting data such as this and decides what is true. The result is balance.

There is benign positional vertigo, infection or inflammation and meniere’s disease.
