Vertigo is a sensation of spinning dizziness, often accompanied by nausea. It can stem from issues in the inner ear, brain, or sensory nerve pathways. Each year, approximately 200,000 people, usually in their 50s, 60s, and 70s, seek medical attention for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, the most common type of vertigo caused by inner ear dysfunction.

Mr V.G.S, a 47-year-old male, visited Life Force Homeopathy's Thane branch on June 29, 2023, with Patient ID 51846. He reported experiencing vertigo since 2021, with symptoms including spinning of the head, loss of balance, vomiting, and a family history of vertigo from his mother's side. For the past two years, he had been taking Tab.Vertin 8 mg (Betahistine) twice daily and Tab.Stemil 5 mg (Prochlorperazine Maleate) once daily.

Associated Diseases

He had been experiencing allergic bronchitis since 2017, with 1 to 2 episodes per year, which was stable with conventional treatment. Additionally, he was diagnosed with oligospermia in June 2023, which was also stable with conventional treatment.

A detailed case history was taken and based on history the medicines were prescribed by Dr.Shah. Dr.Shah also advised some adjustments in his current medications and introduced supplements to address the root causes of his condition. He was prescribed homeopathic remedies specific to his individual symptoms and constitution, aiming to stimulate his body's innate healing abilities and address the condition at its core. Additionally, a personalized nutrition plan was devised.

Follow-Ups

On August 9, 2023, Mr V.G.S reported a 30% improvement, with a reduction in the frequency of vertigo episodes, experiencing only one episode since starting the new medication.

By September 26, 2023, his improvement had increased to 40%, with no reported episodes of vertigo, allowing him to stop taking Vertin.

On November 4, 2023, his condition improved further to 50%, with a decrease in the spinning sensation, although he experienced nausea and headaches during travel.

Significant progress was noted on December 13, 2023, with a 70% improvement and a decrease in the severity of the spinning sensation.

By January 21, 2024, he continued to show 70% improvement with a reduction in the frequency of episodes, though missed doses led to some resurgence of symptoms.

On March 28, 2024, despite a slight resurgence of episodes, his overall improvement remained at 70%.

By May 5, 2024, he reported significant improvement, with an 80% reduction in episodes.

Initially, Mr V.G.S experienced four episodes of vertigo over two years, but with treatment, these episodes reduced significantly to none. The duration of each episode, originally lasting between 2 to 6 minutes, also gradually decreased to none. The severity of the episodes, which was initially moderate, stabilized and lessened as treatment progressed.

The prominent spinning sensation he experienced initially reduced gradually with treatment, though ear ringing was noted in the later stages. His loss of balance improved progressively, with no episodes requiring him to lie down reported in subsequent consultations. Giddiness, which was initially reported, reduced significantly with treatment. Abnormal eye movements present initially also decreased with treatment.

Vomiting and nausea, which were concerns at the start, gradually reduced over time. Double vision, present initially, resolved with treatment. Numbness in his fingers and hands diminished gradually. Sweating, which occurred initially during episodes of vomiting, also reduced over time. Headaches, initially reported, improved significantly, and hearing loss showed gradual improvement with treatment.
