Other signs:

Headaches•Discomfort worsened by high altitude.•Fatigue, everyday tasks are exhausting.•Violent whirling sensations (vertigo), nausea, vomiting.The human balance system depends on information that the brain receives from the eyes, themuscles and joints of the body, and the inner ear. If the inner ear is damaged, the brain mayreceive incorrect information. The result may be dizziness or imbalance problems.There are as many different symptoms of inner-ear vestibular disorders as there are individuals,and with a degrees of severity. Also, an inner-ear disorder may be present even in the absence ofimbalance, a hearing problem, or vertigo.People affected by some of these symptoms may be perceived as inattentive or lazy, or may bethought to be hypochondriacs. Well-educated people may have difficulty ready or doing simple math. Keeping a job, going to school, performing routine tasks, or just getting out of bed in themorning may be difficult for some people.Getting a diagnosis, adhering to your treatment, and learning as much as you can about yourproblem will assist you in your recovery.This document is not intended as a substitute for professional health care.

Vertigo, according to the Vestibular Disorder Association, will affect 76,000,000Americans sometime during their lifetime.Each year, over five million people consult with their doctors with complaints of dizziness,the number one malady for those over 70.Balance related falls account for more than one-half of the accidental deaths in the elderly.Balance related falls cause over 250,000 hip fractures a year in individuals over 65 years ofage.Some forms of inner ear disorders, such as Meniere's Disease, benign positional vertigo,perilymph fistula, and endolymphatic hydrops, have symptoms which are virtuallyindistinguishable to most people. Because imbalance and vertigo can affect a person's ability to stand and walk, to see clearly, to read, to watch television, to make decisions,and to think clearly: diagnoses are sometimes confused with multiple sclerosis and clinicaldepression.Children with treatable vestibular disorders are sometimes incorrectly diagnosed as learning disabled, dyslexic, or psychologically disturbed.Blows to the head and whiplash are frequent causes of balance dizziness, and earinfections, such as otitis media, can also lead to vestibular disorders.The good news ... is that diagnosis and treatment have been changing dramatically over the last ten years, and now there is much hope for many who once thought there might be no relief."
