Vertigo is not just dizziness — it is a specific false sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning. This condition almost always originates from the inner ear or its neural connections. The right diagnosis matters because causes like BPPV, vestibular neuritis, Meniere’s disease and vestibular migraine each require very different treatments.
At Dr. Abdul Aziz ENT Super Specialty Clinic in Tolichowki, Hyderabad, patients are evaluated using appropriate clinical assessment, including in-clinic balance testing and other ENT examinations where indicated. The findings help guide an individualized treatment plan based on the underlying cause.
Vertigo affects balance, confidence and daily life. While most causes are benign, untreated vertigo can lead to repeated falls, anxiety and reduced quality of life. Accurate ENT evaluation helps identify the underlying cause, allowing appropriate management and reducing the risk of complications.
Medical name -Vertigo: A spinning sensation caused by inner‑ear or vestibular dysfunction.
Category -Vestibular Condition: Disorders affecting balance, inner‑ear function and spatial orientation.
Common treatment -Manoeuvres · VRT: Repositioning manoeuvres for BPPV; vestibular rehabilitation therapy for persistent imbalance.
The balance organs in the inner ear send signals to the brain about head position and movement. When these signals are disrupted — by displaced crystals, viral inflammation, fluid build‑up, or migraine — vertigo occurs.
The most common cause is BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), where tiny calcium crystals fall into the wrong canal and trigger brief spins with head movement. A simple bedside repositioning manoeuvre, such as the Epley manoeuvre, is commonly recommended for appropriate cases of BPPV and may provide rapid symptom improvement. Some individuals may receive medications before the underlying cause is identified through appropriate clinical evaluation.
Often managed with repositioning manoeuvres when clinically appropriate.
neuritis, Meniere’s and migraine — Each requiring tailored therapy.
Early ENT evaluation can help determine the underlying cause and guide appropriate management.
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy may help improve balance and reduce dizziness in selected patients.
Vertigo symptoms can range from mild spinning to severe imbalance that disrupts daily life.
Vertigo arises from several distinct inner‑ear and neurological conditions.
Effective treatment depends on the underlying cause.
Seek urgent ENT care if vertigo is sudden and severe, accompanied by hearing loss, neurological symptoms (weakness, slurred speech, double vision), or repeated falls. Routine positional vertigo can be booked normally and manoeuvres are often performed at the first visit.
At Dr. Abdul Aziz, Ruby ENT Super Specialty Clinic in Tolichowki, Hyderabad, If BPPV is diagnosed, repositioning manoeuvres such as the Epley manoeuvre may be performed during the consultation when clinically appropriate. The duration of the procedure and response to treatment vary depending on the individual patient’s condition.
