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.
