Vertigo and Tinnitus
➤ General comments
– Systemic vertigo: Usually occurs as a result of microcirculatory and macrocirculatory disturbances in the inner ear and is often associated with tinnitus and other hearing problems.
– Nonsystemic vertigo: This form of vertigo is much more common and usually occurs as a result of hypertension, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, or decreased mental performance.
– Tinnitus: The subjective perception of sounds (whistling, rustling, or ringing noises) in one or both ears, often due to microcirculatory disturbances.
➤ Clinical value of herbal medicine: Combinations of physical therapy and herbal remedies that modify the cerebral metabolism have proved to be effective. The effectiveness of Ginkgo biloba on aural vertigo has been demonstrated in clinical studies. Benefit should be assessed after three months of application.
Note: Sudden hearing loss is characterized by a unilateral loss of hearing of rapid onset with or without tinnitus. The patient should receive immediate medical attention, because complete restoration of health is possible only if treatment is initiated within the first 24 hours. Herbal remedies are not recommended for causative treatment.
