Understanding Vestibular Problems

Vestibular issues can arise from any area of the complicated vestibular system.

Factors such as injuries (car crashes, falls, etc.), inner ear infections, ageing, drugs, tumours or other brain-related problems, or as symptoms of other diseases/conditions, can cause disorders out of the blue.

Dizziness, vertigo, unsteadiness or falls, blurry vision when driving, sensitivity to movement, and nausea or vomiting can be symptoms.

Other complications, such as poor concentration, decreased activity, restriction of movement, reclusiveness, anxiety, and depression may also be developed.
