Episodes of vertigo can be scary for those affected, and it’s confusing if you don’t know what’s happening. It may be more than just a headache if any of the following are true:
- You feel like your head is spinning.
- You have difficulty walking in a straight line.
- You feel tugged in one direction.
- Your ears are ringing.
- Your sense of hearing has diminished.
- You are experiencing jerky eye movements.
Call (732) 333-6360 to connect with a member of our Monmouth County physical therapy team today if you are experiencing these or any other signs of vertigo.
Common Causes of Vertigo
Vertigo has a number of common culprits, including:
- Migraines
- Ear damage
- Brain tumors
- Stroke
- Head injuries
- Neck injuries
- Spinal injuries
- Calcium buildup in the inner ear (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo)
- Inner ear disorders that create fluid buildup and pressure imbalances
- Viral infection in the inner ear
In some cases, vertigo can even result from a combination of the above, such as a simultaneous head injury and inner ear issue. Because inner ear problems are tough to diagnose on your own, it is important to consult with a licensed professional and receive an official diagnosis before pursuing treatment.
