for the past days nakakaramdam ako ng pagkahilo na parang umiikot ang buong paligid ko. nangyayari lamang ito tuwing ako ay uupo at biglang tatatatayo or hihiga biglang babangon.
nagpatingin ako sa isang opthalmologist sa hinalang sa mata ko ang problema.
walang problema ang aking mata ayon sa aking Optha. Ang sanhi daw ng aking pag kahilo ay ang tinatawag na
BPPV o Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BPPV
walang gamot sa naturang sakit na ito
"The treatment of choice for this condition is the Epley canalith repositional maneuver which is effective in approximately 80% of patients[1]. The treatment employs gravity to move the calcium build-up that causes the condition).[1] The particle repositioning maneuver (Epley's maneuver) can be performed during a clinic visit by specially trained otolaryngologists, neurologists, chiropractors, physical therapists, or audiologists. The maneuver is relatively simple but few general health practitioners know how to perform it. A method known as the Semont maneuver in which patients themselves are able to achieve canalith repositioning has been shown to be effective.[2]
Devices such as a head over heels "rotational chair" are available at some tertiary care centers [3] Home devices, like the DizzyFIX, are also available for the treatment of BPPV and vertigo . [4]
The Epley maneuver (particle repositioning) does not address the actual presence of the particles (otoconia), rather it changes their location. The maneuver moves these particles from areas in the inner ear which cause symptoms, such as vertigo, and repositions them into areas where they do not cause these problems.
Meclizine is a commonly prescribed medication, but is ultimately ineffective for this condition, other than masking the dizziness. Other sedative medications help mask the symptoms associated with BPPV but do not affect the disease process or resolution rate. Serc is available in some countries and is commonly prescribed but again it is likely ineffective. Particle repositioning remains the current gold standard treatment for most cases of BPPV.
Surgical treatments, such as a semi-circular canal occlusion, do exist for BPPV but carry the same risk as any neurosurgical procedure. Surgery is reserved for severe and persistent cases which fail particle repositioning and medical therapy." - Wikipedia
sa ngayon ay ginagawa ko na ang Epley Maneuver. at nakakitaan na ako ng kaonting pag kawala ng hilo.
sabi nila sakit daw ito ng mga matatanda. tumatanda naba ako?
