Common Signs of Vertigo & Dizziness
Symptoms vary by cause. Select all that apply to help characterise your dizziness:
Dizziness with new onset of slurred speech, double vision, weakness on one side, severe headache or difficulty walking needs immediate emergency evaluation to rule out stroke.
Why Getting the Right Diagnosis Matters
Vertigo can arise from the inner ear, the vestibular nerve, the brain or from systemic conditions like low blood pressure or anaemia. Each cause needs different treatment — from simple repositioning manoeuvres to antivertigo drugs to urgent neuroimaging. Treating "vertigo" as one condition leads to ineffective care and prolonged suffering.
Inner Ear Causes
BPPV, vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis and Meniere's disease are common inner-ear causes.
Central Causes
Stroke, TIA, migraine-associated vertigo and brain lesions need neurological evaluation.
Systemic Causes
Low blood pressure, arrhythmias, anaemia and hypoglycaemia can also cause dizziness.
Your Vertigo Evaluation Journey
Symptom Characterisation
Detailed history to distinguish true vertigo from lightheadedness and unsteadiness.
Vestibular & Neuro Exam
Positional testing (Dix-Hallpike), nystagmus examination and neurological checks.
Targeted Investigations
Audiometry, vestibular testing, or MRI of the brain as indicated by findings.
Specific Treatment
Epley manoeuvre for BPPV, pharmacotherapy for acute vertigo, vestibular rehabilitation.
The Right Diagnosis Makes All the Difference
BPPV can be cured in a single visit with a repositioning manoeuvre. Vestibular neuritis improves with steroids and rehabilitation. Central causes need urgent imaging. Correct diagnosis guides correct treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers on vertigo causes, diagnosis and treatment.
callSpeak with our care teamVertigo is the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving. It is usually caused by a problem in the inner ear (vestibular system) or, less commonly, in the brain.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause. It causes brief, intense spinning triggered by head position changes and can often be cured with repositioning manoeuvres.
Dizziness is a broader term that includes lightheadedness, unsteadiness or feeling faint. Vertigo specifically means a spinning sensation.
Evaluation includes a detailed history, positional tests (like the Dix-Hallpike manoeuvre), neurological examination and, when indicated, audiometry, vestibular testing or MRI of the brain.
Many types of vertigo, especially BPPV, respond well to repositioning manoeuvres and vestibular rehabilitation. Other causes like Meniere's disease require long-term management.
Dizziness with slurred speech, double vision, weakness on one side, severe headache or difficulty walking requires immediate emergency evaluation to rule out stroke.
Vestibular rehabilitation is a structured physiotherapy programme using specific exercises to retrain the brain and inner ear to compensate for balance problems.
Most insurance policies cover vertigo evaluation and treatment, including hospitalisation if required. Contact the hospital desk to confirm details.
