Help - I'm So Dizzy The World Keeps Spinning

By Christian Goodman

If you suffer with vertigo, you probably feel as though you're on a merry-go-round that won't stop.

Sufferers explain that the world around them seems to be swaying or moving - not necessarily the person who is experiencing the problem.

Some assume that it is just a temporary dizzy feeling.

Reports by the National Institute of Health state that over 90 million Americans over the age of 17 have experienced a dizziness or balance problem.

According to studies of individuals with vertigo, it seems to strike women more often than men. Episodes tend to increase in frequency as we age.

Chronic dizziness or vertigo is often due to an inner ear infection or problem such as labyrinthitis.

When labyrinthitis occurs, a person can experience nausea, motion sickness and other syptoms. It causes the dizzy feeling as faulty information about position and balance are going to the brain.

The confusing data being sent to the brain cannot be processed properly.

Then the world starts moving, at least that is the perception to the sufferer.

This illness often goes undiagnosed and therefore untreated, but can cause unpleasant, even disturbing episodes for the person suffering with it.

The reason vertigo is so often untreated is because typically the symptoms will vanish on their own within a relatively short period of time, sometimes in just a few days.

Eventually, the problem will present itself again.

More often than not, someone suffering from dizziness will find it easy to dismiss the problem by relating it to something common. A recent head cold seems to be a fair culprit for feeling dizzy for example.

As a result, the condition can go on for quite some time before a pattern of repeated episodes is recognized. The treatment most often prescribed is medication, typically meclizine.

The drugs are usually either promethazine or meclizine. Some brand names are Dramamine, Meni-D, Adgan and others.

Of course with medications come side effects and other potential problems.

A little known fact with vertigo is that there are more causes than ear problems.

Tension can be the culprit as it is with some many other conditions.

Feeling dizzy or experiencing vertigo can be the result of muscle tension around the ears and/or eyes as well as the body line that extends to the pelvic bone.

Thousands of people have found relief from vertigo and dizziness with my natural cure.

It only requires a few easy daily exercises.

I have been amazed myself by both the results people have experienced and by the number of results. You too should start feeling focused in no time.
