Chronic dizziness, or vertigo, can have a negative impact on almost every part of your life. In fact, it is one of the most common complaints among older patients. There can be a number of different causes, but one of the most common is an imbalance in the body’s vestibular system. Part of the inner ear, the vestibular system is crucial to giving us information about head movement and spatial orientation.
If a vestibular order develops, such as a fluid imbalance, it can lead to dizziness, instability, problems with vision and changes in hearing, among other symptoms. These problems can be especially difficult for older patients, because they lead to an increased risk of falls.
