What is vestibular migraine?

This is a type of migraine that causes dizziness and balance issues, sometimes even without a headache. Drinking ginger tea and resting in a dark room really helps soothe the motion sickness feelings. However, if the spinning is constant, please see an ENT or neurologist immediately.

In our times, we called it a balance issue with headache. Vestibular migraine causes vertigo and nausea. Applying a cool sandalwood paste on your forehead and sleeping in a quiet, dark room can give temporary relief, but you must consult a doctor for proper medicine.

It is a nervous system problem that causes repeated episodes of dizziness or vertigo, often in people who have a history of migraines. Because dizziness can also be a sign of inner ear or blood pressure issues, please get it checked by a specialist doctor to be absolutely safe.

It's basically a migraine that makes your head spin like you are on a giant wheel. My cousin has it and she had to cut out aged cheese, chocolates, and heavy spicy street food because they triggered her dizziness. Imagine a foodie surviving without street food, so sad!

This condition triggers dizziness and balance problems. I always advise keeping a check on your meals, because sudden blood sugar drops can also cause severe dizziness which might mimic a vestibular migraine. Keep your diet balanced and monitor your symptoms with a doctor.

Please take this spinning sensation seriously. I thought my dizziness was just cervical pain and ignored it, but it got so bad I had a fall and injured my hand. Get a proper MRI and consult a neuro-otologist to manage it medically.
