About Migrainous Vertigo

Migrainous vertigo, also known as vestibular migraine, is a neurological condition where migraine headaches are accompanied by episodes of dizziness or vertigo. An ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist manages this condition through a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach. The procedure involves a detailed patient history, vestibular function tests (like VNG or VHIT), and hearing assessments to rule out other inner ear disorders. Treatment is primarily medical, focusing on migraine prevention and acute symptom management, often including medications like beta-blockers, anticonvulsants, or triptans. Lifestyle modifications, dietary triggers identification, and vestibular rehabilitation therapy are integral parts of the management plan to reduce attack frequency and improve balance.

PATIENT REVIEW

I was a total wreck before...

I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Muthusamy just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my jumbled-up worries, did a quick check, and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. Walked out feeling silly for being so nervous, but mostly just relieved.
