Vertigo,what is the cause of this sickness?

Question

I've been experiencing this sickness fourteen years now and I remember whenever I sleep very late in three to four nights continously then the following day I would feel dizziness, getting worst if I would fail to consult a Doctor.During those years of having this sickness,I kept asking the Doctor what was the cause of my dizziness,and there was only one I remember who told me that I was eating a lot of salty foods and foods with monosodium glutamate and it goes up to my head.Though I was a little bit reluctant; however I reduced salt and avoid foods with m s g.Until this time,it's the same way,whenever I sleep very late I experience this severe dizziness.What is the meaning of vertigo by the way? Please share me your answers.Thank you! Ria

Answer 1

Vertigo is when you feel like the things around you or your surroundings are moving. It may be caused by alcohol, a disorder in your inner ears, eyes, brain, also could be due to low blood pressure or possibly extreme stress, too.

Treatment depends on the main cause. In the meantime, just avoid drinking alcohol, try to move gradually while doing various activities especially when rising from your bed, avoid driving on your own coz it might lead to accidents, sleep earlier, monitor your blood pressure, eat healthy foods.... more veggies.

Motion sickness on the sea can result from being in the berth of a rolling boat without being able to see the horizon. Sudden jerky movements tend to be worse for provoking motion sickness than slower smooth ones

Answer 3

I deal with vertigo sometimes, the doctor tells me that my right innerear tends to slightly swell with fluid, esp when I am asleep, because of laying flat on my right side, try changing the position you sleep in.
