Dizziness & Imbalance

الدوخة واضطراب التوازن

Most vertigo comes from the inner ear and is very treatable — the neurologist's job is to confirm that, and to catch the rare central causes early.

When to See a Neurologist

Spinning sensation triggered by turning in bed (BPPV)
Attacks of vertigo with ear fullness or hearing change (Menière's)
Sudden prolonged vertigo with nausea (vestibular neuritis)
Chronic unsteadiness or veering when walking
Dizziness with double vision, weakness, or speech change — urgent

How It Is Diagnosed at the Clinic

Bedside vestibular examination (Dix-Hallpike, head-impulse testing) that identifies most causes without machines, hearing assessment, and MRI only when central features are present.

Treatment Options

  1. 1BPPV: particle-repositioning (Epley) manoeuvres — often curative same-day
  2. 2Menière's disease: lifestyle plus preventive medication
  3. 3Vestibular rehabilitation exercise programmes
  4. 4Vestibular migraine identification and prevention
  5. 5Fall-risk reduction for chronic imbalance

Why Dr. Ebied for This Condition

Dizziness sits exactly between ENT and neurology — a neurologist with headache expertise also catches vestibular migraine, the most missed diagnosis in vertigo clinics.
