Vertigo Treatment at CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Andheri East
CritiCare Asia Hospitals, an ENT hospital in Mumbai, treats vertigo that interrupts meetings, commutes, and sleep. A room that spins when nothing has moved is vertigo, and it is different from ordinary lightheadedness. It comes from a mismatch in the balance system, most often in the inner ear, where fluid-filled canals normally tell the brain which way is up. Our hospital offers vertigo treatment in Andheri East, Mumbai, with a focus on finding the cause quickly and planning care without repeated visits. Episodes can last seconds or hours depending on the cause.
Symptoms of Vertigo
- A spinning, tilting, or swaying sensation
- Nausea, vomiting or trouble keeping balance
- Ringing in the ears or a change in hearing, in some cases
- Ordinary dizziness feels like lightheadedness or unsteadiness, without rotation
Because dizziness has a far wider list of causes, the distinction saves time in diagnosis. Consult vertigo doctors in Mumbai at CritiCare Asia Hospitals if episodes are affecting your work.
Diagnosis in One Consultation
The doctor starts with a detailed history covering how long episodes last, what triggers them, and any hearing changes. Positional testing, where the head is moved into set positions while eye movements are observed, confirms BPPV in the clinic itself. Where Meniere's disease or a neurological cause is suspected, imaging may follow, though most cases do not need it. Wherever possible, the consultation and any needed tests are planned around each other so answers do not take several trips. Vertigo specialists in Andheri East, Mumbai decide the next step from these findings.
What Causes Vertigo
- BPPV
calcium crystals in the inner ear come loose, and certain head movements trigger brief, intense spinning - Meniere's disease
fluid builds up in the inner ear, causing longer episodes with ringing and a sense of fullness - Vestibular neuritis
the balance nerve is inflamed after a viral infection, causing one severe episode lasting days - Migraine
and rarely a central nervous system problem
Risk Factors
Older age raises the risk of BPPV. Head trauma, past ear surgery, and a recent viral illness add to it. Meniere's disease usually begins between 40 and 60, and a first episode makes a repeat more likely.
Self-Care During an Episode
- Sit or lie down at once
- Keep still and fix your gaze on a stationary point
- Move slowly as it eases
- Seek immediate medical attention for a first episode, or if slurred speech, weakness, or vision changes appear
Vertigo Treatment Options
For BPPV treatment, repositioning manoeuvres guide the displaced crystals back, often resolving symptoms within one or two sessions, sometimes in the same clinic visit. Medicines control nausea and spinning during acute episodes and help reduce fluid build-up in Meniere's disease. Surgery is only considered for rare, severe, or resistant cases.
