Vertigo is defined as a condition of dizziness of feeling of spinning, or swaying when one is stationary. Dizziness is a general, non-specific term to indicate a sense of disorientation. Some researchers suggested that vertigo
is a subtype of dizziness and refers to an erroneous perception of
self- or object-motion or an unpleasant distortion of static
gravitational orientation that is a result of a mismatch between
vestibular, visual, and somatosensory systems, affecting
approximately 20-30% of the general population(1) and about two to three times higher in women than in men.
Preventions
A. The Do's and Do not's list
1. Unhealthy diet
Unhealthy diet with high in saturated and trans fat and less fruits and
vegetables can increase the risk of cholesterol building up in the
arteries and nutrients deficiency of that can lead to insufficient blood
flow to the back of the brain.
2. Avoid damage to the head
From a neurotologic perspective, approximately 21.9% of head injured
workers were determined to have recognizable evidence of
cochleovestibular dysfunction. Olfactory dysfunction as a physical
finding post-head injury compares favourably with the presence of post-traumatic benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV) and its atypical variants in 11.2% of head injured workers(17)
3. Relaxation
In the study of VERTIGO AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTURBANCES Timothy C. Hain,
MD, showed that Psychological abnormalities are common in the general
population, even more common in those who are ill, and are certainly
also common in individuals with vertigo. In a recent study by Garcia et
al in Portugal, out of 43 patients, a large number of psychological
abnormalities were diagnosed by the SCL-90 (a standard psychological
test) including
a. Somatization 41.9%
b. Hostility 20.9%
c. Interpersonal sensitivity 18.6%
d. Anxiety 23.3%
e. Phobic anxiety 20.9%
f. OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) 53.5%
g. Depression 30.2%
h. Paranoid traits 11.6%
i. Psychotic traits 2.3%(18)
4. Fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables contain high amount of antioxidants and
overprotective nutrients of which can enhance the immune system in
fighting against firming of free radicals causes of degenerative
diseases and viral and bacteria causes of infection and inflammation and
decrease the chronic diseases causes of vertigo.
5. Moderate exercise
Excessive exercise can decrease the immune function in fighting against
disease, moderate exercise not only enhances the blood circulation to
increase oxygen to the back of the brain but also promotes the immune
function fighting against inflammation and weaken immune system causes
of vertigo.
6. Smoking
Smoking can reduce the lung function in oxygen absorption, thus reducing the risk of oxygen deficiency causes of vertigo.
7. Excessive alcohol drinking
Alcoholism can weaken the immune system and increase the risk of inflammatory causes of vertigo.
