TOP HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR MENIERE'S DISEASE
Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that
causes episodes in which you feel as if you're spinning (vertigo), and you have
fluctuating hearing loss with a progressive, ultimately permanent loss of
hearing, ringing in the ear (tinnitus), and sometimes a feeling of fullness or
pressure in your ear. In most cases, Meniere's disease affects only one ear.
Meniere's disease can occur at any age, but it usually
starts between the ages of 20 and 50. It's considered a chronic condition, but
various treatments can help relieve symptoms and minimize the long-term impact
on your life.
Cause--
The cause of Meniere's disease isn't understood. One popular theory that hasn't
been proved is that Meniere's disease appears to be the result of the abnormal
amount of fluid (endolymph) in the inner ear. This often shows on autopsies,
but it's not clear that it causes the episodes.
Factors that
affect the fluid, which might contribute to Meniere's disease, include:-Improper
fluid drainage, perhaps because of a blockage or anatomic abnormality, Abnormal
immune response,Allergies, Viral infection, Genetic predisposition,Head trauma,Migraines
Because no
single cause has been identified, it's likely that Meniere's disease results
from a combination of factors.
Symptoms--Signs and symptoms of Meniere's
disease include:
·
Recurring episodes of vertigo. You have
a spinning sensation that starts and stops spontaneously. Episodes of vertigo
occur without warning and usually last 20 minutes to several hours, but not
more than 24 hours. Severe vertigo can cause nausea and vomiting.
·
Hearing loss. Hearing loss in Meniere's
disease may come and go, particularly early on. Eventually, most people have
some permanent hearing loss.
·
Ringing in the ear (tinnitus). Tinnitus
is the perception of a ringing, buzzing, roaring, whistling or hissing sound in
your ear.
·
Feeling of fullness in the ear. People
with Meniere's disease often feel pressure in the affected ears (aural
fullness) or on the side of their heads.
After an
episode, signs and symptoms improve and might disappear entirely. Episodes can
occur weeks to years apart.
