Diseases of the vestibular apparatus - for many of us this is a very foggy and transcendental notion, as vestibular diseases are not so popular in the "people", they are not written about in the medical journals and do not speak on benches, clicking the seeds in front of the houses. Moreover, most diseases remain unnoticed and not diagnosed, since the main sign is dizziness, people are referred to pressure drops, heart problems, etc. But it was with dizziness that vestibular gymnastics would help.
Where does dizziness come from?
Dizziness often occurs when turning the head, with tilts. The sensation itself is characterized by a pre-fainting condition, a feeling of nausea. You can safely describe the vertigo of the expression "the earth is going beneath the feet". Why do vertigo most often occur when cornering? Precisely because they speak about the presence of cervical or thoracic osteochondrosis , in which the vertebral artery is transmitted and bent. During the turn, the bend is aggravated and the pressure changes, you, in turn, feel like you are lost in space.
