Závratmi

Závratmi, commonly referred to as dizziness or vertigo, is a subjective sensation of disorientation or unsteadiness. It can manifest as a feeling of spinning, tilting, or a general sense of imbalance. This sensation can range from mild and transient to severe and debilitating, significantly impacting a person's daily life.

The causes of závratmi are diverse and can originate from various physiological systems. The vestibular system, located in the inner ear, plays a crucial role in balance and spatial orientation. Dysfunction within this system, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease, or vestibular neuritis, is a frequent cause. Neurological conditions, including migraines, stroke, or multiple sclerosis, can also trigger dizziness. Furthermore, cardiovascular issues like low blood pressure or arrhythmias, metabolic disturbances such as hypoglycemia, and even psychological factors like anxiety and stress can contribute to the sensation. Certain medications are also known side effects that can induce dizziness.

Diagnosis typically involves a thorough medical history, a physical examination focusing on neurological and vestibular assessments, and sometimes imaging studies or specific tests to evaluate inner ear function. Treatment strategies are tailored to the underlying cause and may include medications, vestibular rehabilitation therapy, lifestyle adjustments, or addressing the primary medical condition. In many cases, dizziness can be effectively managed, leading to improved quality of life.
