Chronic dizziness is also known as vertigo. It’s caused by your eyes, inner ear, and sensory nerves not properly working together to help you maintain your balance. Your brain doesn’t receive the correct signals from these three elements, causing you to experience a spinning sensation.
There are several factors that can cause vertigo, including:
- Having chronic migraine headaches
- Quickly move your head
- A viral infection affecting your vestibular nerve
- Meniere’s disease, causes a large amount of fluid to build up in your inner ear
Your ENT specialist is an expert at the diagnosis and treatment of vertigo, and may recommend:
Medication therapy, including antihistamines, anticholinergics, anti-nausea medications, migraine medications, and anti-anxiety medications
Postural and physical therapy, the goal of which is to learn and maintain correct head positioning, posture, and balance
Severe vertigo may require additional treatment in the form of surgery. During surgery, antibiotics are inserted inside your inner ear. These antibiotics disable the balance function in your ear, causing your other ear to compensate and maintain your balance.
