One of the reasons for vertigo, which patients describe as a 'feeling of turning', is a lack of vitamins. Yeditepe University Hospitals Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery Specialists, who drew attention to the latest research, said "Iron deficiency anemia, vitamin B12 and D deficiency cause vertigo".
The most common inner ear disease causing vertigo is Benign positional paroxysmal vertigo. This disease is popularly known as "dislodged crystals" and affects 10 percent of the population. Yeditepe University Hospital specialists provided important information on the subject, stating that the disease, which is more common in people over 65 years of age, affects 30 percent of this age group.
More Common After the Age of 65 Years
When the crystals in the inner ear are dislodged their place, there is a feeling of rotation that lasts less than a minute and this is triggered by right and left turns in the bed, the specialists say, "This is sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting. This disease is more common after the age of 65 because the calcium carbonate crystals in the inner ear, commonly called crystals, degenerate with age."
Beware of Vitamin Deficiencies
Stating that vertigo is 3 times more common in menopausal women than in men, Ear, Nose and Throat specialists of Yeditepe University Hospitals said, "The reason for this is the decrease in estrogen levels and bone density of patients during this period. Decreases in vitamin D levels are also effective. Vitamin D has an important role to play in calcium and bone metabolism. Vitamin D plays an important role in the formation of substances expressed as crystals. It may be easier for them to fall into semicircular canals from where they are. Some internal diseases also cause vertigo. These include high blood pressure, thyroid problems, iron deficiency anemia, and vitamin B12 deficiency."
If You Have Dizziness, Consult a Physician
Yeditepe University Hospitals specialists said that vertigo may be related to impact and accident and added: "These events make it easier for crystals to move. Therefore, it is beneficial to ask the patients whether they have experienced any trauma or whether they have hit their head. Apart from this, stroke is also among the causes of vertigo. If the patient has dizziness, accompanying nausea and vomiting, they should definitely go to an ear, nose, and throat doctor. The patients can be diagnosed with maneuvers, some hearing and balance tests, and blood tests. Post-diagnosis treatment is applied. People should not think that they are helpless if they have dizziness. They should definitely go to an ear, nose, and throat doctor. It is possible to treat patients after diagnosis. Some of our patients can only be treated with maneuvering without any drug."
