Vertigo Treatment in New Delhi

Vertigo is the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning, even when stationary. It is a symptom rather than a disease and can arise from problems in the inner ear, the vestibular nerve or the brain itself.

What is Vertigo?

Most causes of vertigo — such as benign positional vertigo (BPPV) and vestibular neuritis — respond extremely well to targeted treatment, including simple repositioning manoeuvres performed in the clinic. Identifying the exact source quickly is the key to fast recovery.

What are the symptoms of Vertigo?

Common symptoms include the features below. Patterns vary — a neurologist matches your history to the right diagnosis rather than treating a single symptom in isolation.

✓

Spinning sensation triggered by head movement

✓

Loss of balance or unsteadiness

✓

Nausea and vomiting

✓

Ringing in the ears or hearing loss

✓

Jerky eye movements (nystagmus)

✓

Sensitivity to motion

✓

Difficulty walking in the dark

✓

Episodes lasting seconds to hours

What causes Vertigo?

Identifying the cause guides treatment. These are frequent contributors — your evaluation may reveal one factor or a combination.

BPPV

Tiny calcium crystals dislodge in the inner ear, causing brief positional spinning.

Vestibular Neuritis

Inflammation of the balance nerve, often after a viral illness.

Meniere's Disease

Fluid imbalance in the inner ear causing vertigo with hearing changes.

Migraine-Associated Vertigo

Vertigo can be a manifestation of migraine even without headache.

Cervical Causes

Neck problems can occasionally contribute to imbalance.

Central Causes

Stroke or brainstem issues — uncommon but important to rule out.

How does Dr. Sudheer treat Vertigo?

Care is personalised after examination and targeted tests. The usual pathway has three stages:

Diagnosis

Bedside vestibular examination including Dix-Hallpike and HINTS when needed; MRI if central (brain) causes or red-flag neurological signs are suspected.

Treatment Plan

Epley or other canalith repositioning for BPPV; short-course vestibular suppressants only when needed; vestibular rehabilitation and migraine or Meniere's-specific therapy as indicated.

Follow-up

Recheck balance within days after manoeuvres, then guide home exercises and review for recurrence or migraine-associated vertigo needing preventive medicine.

When should I seek urgent care for Vertigo?

• Vertigo with sudden weakness or speech difficulty
• Severe headache with vertigo
• Persistent vomiting and inability to stand
• New hearing loss in one ear

Frequently asked questions about Vertigo

Direct answers patients ask before booking a neurology consultation.

Most causes of spinning vertigo are benign and very treatable. Sudden severe vertigo with weakness, speech difficulty or double vision needs urgent evaluation the same day to rule out stroke or brainstem disease.

Yes. Benign positional vertigo (BPPV) — the commonest cause — is treated with clinic repositioning manoeuvres such as the Epley, which often give immediate or same-day relief without long-term drugs.

Some types, especially BPPV and Meniere's disease, can recur over months or years. A clear diagnosis, home exercises and prompt review when spinning returns significantly reduce how often attacks disrupt daily life.

BPPV spells often last only seconds with head turns, while Meniere's attacks may last hours. After vestibular neuritis, unsteadiness can persist for days even once the worst spinning settles.
