Positional vertigo – Joensuu

11 practitioners in Joensuu

Positional vertigo is a common dizziness symptom caused by the inner ear, in which sudden changes in head position, such as getting out of bed or bending down, trigger a strong but usually short-lived spinning sensation. The symptom may also be accompanied by nausea, but it usually does not cause other nervous system symptoms such as numbness or slurred speech. Typically, positional vertigo is caused by debris in the inner ear’s balance organ, especially in the semicircular canals, which interferes with the normal function of balance perception.
