Rotational vertigo can occur suddenly and without warning, often accompanied by a feeling of loss of control. Sufferers experience an apparent movement of their surroundings - and this can be not only uncomfortable but also frightening. Many people do not realise that there are effective ways to treat this form of vertigo and alleviate the symptoms. This article will provide you with helpful information on causes, tips and proven therapeutic approaches to help you regain stability and confidence in your everyday life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>

What is rotary vertigo?<\/h3>\n

Rotational vertigo is a special form of vertigo in which those affected have the feeling that their surroundings or they themselves are spinning on their own axis. This sensation is usually very intense and is often accompanied by a strong feeling of insecurity. For many people, it is as if they are on a merry-go-round, even though they are not moving. This illusion of rotation can occur both horizontally and vertically.<\/p>\n

In addition to the perception of dizziness, it is often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sweating or a feeling of light-headedness. The intensity and duration of an attack of vertigo vary greatly: some sufferers experience short attacks that only last a few seconds, while others can be affected for hours.<\/p>\n

Rotational vertigo also frequently occurs in certain situations, such as when standing up quickly, turning your head or after a sudden change of position.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the most common cause of rotatory vertigo and affects the inner ear, which is responsible for balance.
\nThis is where the organ of balance is located, which consists of several interconnected semicircular canals. They are each filled with fluid. The semicircular canals contain small sensory cells that register movements of the head and transmit this information to the brain to control balance.<\/p>\n

In BPLS, tiny calcium crystals (otoliths or statoliths) detach from their original location in the utricle (part of the vestibular system) and enter the semicircular canals. These crystals then start to move with certain head movements and irritate the sensory cells, which then send false signals to the brain. These signals create the impression that the body or the environment is rotating, although this is not the case.<\/p>\n

The main symptom of BPLS is therefore an intense rotatory vertigo that occurs suddenly with certain head or body movements.
\nThe dizziness usually lasts only a few seconds, but can be very severe and is often accompanied by nausea or severe discomfort. The attacks usually occur repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

This is a disease of the inner ear, typically characterised by recurrent attacks of vertigo, hearing loss and ringing in the ears (Tinnitus<\/a>). These symptoms are caused by a disturbance of the organ of balance and the auditory system in the inner ear, which can lead to considerable impairment in everyday life.<\/p>\n

The exact cause of Meniere's disease<\/a> is not fully understood. However, it is assumed that an accumulation of fluid in the inner ear, particularly in the so-called endolymph, plays a central role. This fluid is important for the transmission of sound and balance information to the brain. In Meniere's disease, however, there is an imbalance or overproduction of this fluid, which increases the pressure in the inner ear. This pressure damages the fine structures responsible for hearing and balance function.<\/p>\n
