This sensation is brought on by disturbances in the inner ear\nor the brain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Types of Vertigo? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Peripheral vertigo is associated with problems in the inner ear.\nThe vestibular system sends signals to the brain about the position of the head\nin relation to movement, enabling us to keep our balance and maintain\nequilibrium. When these signals are disrupted, vertigo results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is often caused by inflammation related to a viral\ninfection and is commonly associated with two conditions: labyrinthitis\n(inflammation of the inner ear\u2019s labyrinth and vestibular nerve), and\nvestibular neuronitis (inflammation of the vestibular nerve). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other causes of peripheral vertigo include benign paroxysmal\npositional vertigo (BPPV), which occurs when tiny pieces of calcium break off\nand float in the tube of the inner ear, sending confusing messages to the\nbrain, and Meniere\u2019s disease, which involves excess pressure of the fluid in\nthe inner ear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Central vertigo occurs when there is a problem in the brain,\nusually affecting the brainstem or the cerebellum. These parts of the brain are\nresponsible for interactions between the visual and balance systems; any\ndisturbance can lead to vertigo. The most common cause of central vertigo is a\nmigraine headache. Other less common conditions that can trigger central\nvertigo include stroke, tumors, acoustic neuroma, multiple sclerosis, alcohol\nand certain drugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/oregonent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/iStock-180705839-1-2048x1365.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-753\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oregonent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/iStock-180705839-1.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/oregonent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/iStock-180705839-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Symptoms Are Associated with Vertigo? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically speaking, vertigo is a symptom itself. It\u2019s\ncharacterized by the sensation that you or the room is moving or spinning. This\nmay be accompanied by additional symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, hearing\nloss, tinnitus, difficulty focusing or moving the eyes, double vision and a\nfeeling of fullness in the ear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re suffering from vertigo, your doctor will give you a\nthorough physical examination and may order a CT scan or MRI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Is Vertigo Treated? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment varies depending on the type and severity of vertigo. Some forms disappear without treatment. The most common type, BPPV, responds well to head maneuvers, while other types are successfully treated with medication. When the condition persists, physical therapy can help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Call <span class=\"company-name \">Oregon Ear, Nose &amp; Throat Center<\/span> at <a href=\"tel:+15417797331\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(541) 779-7331<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vertigo is a form of dizziness characterized by the feeling that you or your environment is moving or spinning, despite the lack of any actual movement.
