If you’ve ever stood up too quickly, taken a long boat ride, or enjoyed a roller coaster, chances are you’ve experienced dizziness.

Dizziness is characterized as feeling unstable, lightheaded, weak, or feeling that you or your surroundings are spinning. This sensation usually only lasts a few seconds and then disappears allowing you to continue your day uninterrupted.

Imagine if this feeling didn’t go away within a few seconds. What if the relief didn’t come until several minutes or even hours later?

Sufferers from a type of dizziness known as vertigo experience this sensation on a regular basis. Some suffer more often than others.

There are two types of vertigo, subjective and objective.

Subjective vertigo gives you the feeling that you are moving. Objective vertigo gives you the sensation that it’s not you that is moving, but your surroundings that are moving. This may cause you to tilt or sway, to have visual problems, and can cause difficulty in speaking and walking.

Other symptoms include but are not limited to nausea, vomiting, sweating, involuntary eye movements, hearing loss, and ringing in the ears. These symptoms can last anywhere from minutes to hours and can sometimes be treated with medication or certain physical maneuvers.

True vertigo originates in the brain or inner ear and is often but not always associated with hearing loss.

A common form of vertigo is called ‘benign paroxysmal positional vertigo’ (BPPV). BPPV is due to small particles in the fluid in the semicircular canals in the inner ear.

This debris is dislodged and after head movement has stopped the debris continues moving, allowing sensors in the inner ear to think there is still movement when there is none. 

BPPV can be triggered by certain head movements or something as slight as rolling over in bed. Symptoms of this type of vertigo usually last several seconds before subsiding. BPPV can be treated and is usually not too serious.

Meniere’s disease is another form of vertigo in which sufferers experience a sudden onset of symptoms that include hearing loss and ringing in the ears. Treatment includes medications to reduce the spinning sensation and anxiety as well as a diet restricted in sodium.

Vertigo can also be caused by an acoustic neuroma, a tumor on the balance and hearing nerves near the inner ear. This is a more serious diagnosis but if caught early can be surgically removed.

In addition to vertigo, symptoms associated with this type of tumor can include one sided hearing loss and ringing in the ears. Vertigo can also be a result of head trauma, multiple sclerosis, migraines, and bacterial or viral infections.

Next time you’re experiencing a bout of dizziness, remember there are people who live with this everyday. They’re suffering multiple times throughout the day in some cases, often for several minutes to hours at a time.

The good news is, you don’t have to be one of them…

My all-natural program for putting a stop to dizziness and vertigo is available and has already helped thousands of others eliminate this problem from their lives. It’s extremely easy to learn a few simple exercises, and the power of those exercises can rid you of ever feeling dizzy or dealing with an episode of vertigo again.

If you suffer with vertigo, you probably feel as though you’re on a merry-go-round that won’t stop.

It’s not so much that you feel like you’re spinning, but that everything around you is in motion, including things that shouldn’t be moving, like furniture or walls.

Many people dismiss it as nothing more than a bout of dizziness, or toss it off as just feeling lightheaded.

But the National Institute of Health reports that 40% of adults will deal with an episode of vertigo at least once.

According to studies of individuals with vertigo, it seems to strike women more often than men. Episodes tend to increase in frequency as we age.

An inner ear infection known as labyrinthitis is often associated with vertigo.

This is an inflammation of the inner ear and can cause vertigo and vomiting. The labyrinths, or canals of the inner ear are filled with fluid.

Within the fluid are tiny hairs that send impulses to the brain. The brain uses this information to identify your body’s orientation.

When the canals, or labyrinths, are irritated, the brain often receives the wrong information. The result is objects spinning or moving around you.

This illness often goes undiagnosed and therefore untreated, but can cause unpleasant, even disturbing episodes for the person suffering with it.

The reason vertigo is so often untreated is because typically the symptoms will vanish on their own within a relatively short period of time, sometimes in just a few days.

The problem is, they almost always return.

Many times the person suffering with the dizzy spells doesn’t even relate the episodes together, dismissing one as being too fatigued, perhaps the next one as being associated with a severe headache.

As a result, the condition can go on for quite some time before a pattern of repeated episodes is recognized. The treatment most often prescribed is medication, typically meclizine.

You may be more familiar with some of the brand names, such as Bonine, Antivert, or Dramamine.

But like all medications, there are contraindications and potential side effects associated with taking the drug. And it doesn’t address the cause of the dizziness; it simply allows you to control the symptoms.

What most people don’t know, and something that most doctors don’t tell you, is that there could be another cause for your vertigo. Something besides an inner ear infection.

It could be caused by muscle tension.

As odd as that may sound, if you have tension in the muscles around your eyes, ears, or your body line from the top of your head to your pelvic bone, you may experience vertigo or episodes of dizziness as a result.

I’ve developed a natural system for relaxing and releasing that muscle tension that has allowed thousands of people to free themselves from vertigo.

By performing a few simple exercises every day, they soon report no more dizzying episodes.

The results that have been reported to me have been nothing less than amazing. So if you suffer, even occasionally, from feeling like everything is spinning around you, I encourage you to give my natural vertigo system a try. It will bring your world back into focus for you.

It is actually amazing that we can in fact stand on two feet without falling. And not only that, many of us can run, jump, spin around in circle or even ride a bike down a steep stony mountain hill without falling.

Healthy people can do most of that thanks to our amazing balance system.

But unfortunately, the balance system does not always function right and when it stops functioning we experience a feeling called vertigo or dizziness (I’ll talk about it as the same thing here because the cause is the same although these two feelings are experienced in a different way).

We’ve all felt dizziness and had vertigo at some time in our life. Be it from sailing in bad waves, driving on a dusty road, traveling to a high altitude or even having a few too many at the bar (I could tell you some stories).

Luckily for most people it is only a temporary situation that quickly blows over and no solution needs to be sought.

However, thousands of people suffer from what is called chronic vertigo / dizziness. If you suffer from this condition, you either constantly feel dizzy or you get dizzy several times a year, month or even week – often without any obvious reason.

This kind of chronic vertigo/dizziness is caused by problems with the balance system.

We all have three kinds of balance systems.
In the…

 ears
 eyes
 body sense

Our balance system is so advantaged that even if one part goes out, we may feel it a little but we’ll still function pretty much normally. Most blind people can walk normally – so can a person who has problems with the balance system in his/her ears.

However, if two or even three of those balance systems become ineffective, we have a big problem. That is why it is so important to strengthen all three balance systems even if one or two are too weak to completely heal them.

So how do we strengthen our balance system?

You see, 90% of the time, dizziness and vertigo are caused by tension in the muscles around our balance system – the eyes, the ears or the body line from the top of our skull to the pelvic bone.

For example if you have tension in the eye muscles, then your eye’s balance system conceives the world  in just a tiny bit different way than your ear’s balance system does.

These two balance systems send two different messages to the brain. This causes confusion when your brain tries to process the information. Needless to say, you feel dizzy.

If you’ve ever tried eyeglasses that are too strong for you, you know exactly what I mean.

Now if your balance system in your ear was 100% and your body’s balance system was 100% - you could still function pretty well even if there was a problem with the eye’s balance system. But it hardly ever is so you feel dizzy or even experience the world spinning around you.

The solution is to strengthen and loosen up all muscles around all your balance systems – as well as strengthening your body’s balance awareness.

You do not even have to do this perfectly. If you only bring each of these systems to 70% function, that is enough for you to never feel dizziness or vertigo again. That is exactly what my natural vertigo and dizziness program does.
