Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Is vertigo a very serious condition and is there a good treatment for it?Doctor's answer:
Then it's necessary to first determine the cause of the dizziness. Check whether it's caused by Ménière's disease, cervical spondylosis with insufficient blood supply to the vertebrobasilar artery, or other conditions. Since the relationship between dizziness and ear diseases is quite close, you can first go to the otolaryngology department for a follow-up. Explain your symptoms clearly to the attending doctor, and also mention whether you still experience hearing loss or head spinning. Then undergo tests such as pure-tone audiometry, cervical MRI, and positional change tests to confirm the diagnosis before starting treatment.
