Vestibular migraine
Vestibular migraine can spin the room, with or without head pain, often with sensitivity to sound and light. It was the subject of his fellowship in Cleveland.
What people notice
- Dizzy or spinning spells lasting minutes to hours.
- A history of migraine, or a spell with light and sound sensitivity.
- Hearing or tinnitus that fluctuates, without the full Meniere pattern.
Come in sooner if
- Double vision, weakness, or trouble speaking. That needs emergency care.
- A sudden hearing drop that does not recover.
How this clinic looks at it
- A careful history. That is the basis of this diagnosis.
- Hearing tests.
- VNG, caloric testing, and VEMP when the history needs them.
What care can include
- Vestibular migraine rehabilitation, which the Al Emadi unit provides.
- Shared care with neurology when headache treatment is required.
- His 2011 paper with Cleveland Hearing and Balance describes the hearing and balance findings in this condition.
This is general information about the practice, not a diagnosis for you.
