The sensation of dizziness or the debilitating spinning feeling known as vertigo is a common complaint that can significantly disrupt an individual’s life. While many people assume these symptoms stem from minor issues, persistent or severe vertigo can be a sign of underlying neurological or inner ear disorders, requiring precise diagnosis by an expert. Dr. Md. Helalur Rahman, as a specialized Neuromedicine physician, focuses on identifying the true origin of these unsettling symptoms to ensure patients receive the most effective, targeted treatment.

Identifying the True Cause of Dizziness

Dizziness can be broadly categorized into several types, and accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of successful treatment. Dr. Rahman’s approach is methodical and thorough:

• Central vs. Peripheral: Crucially, he determines whether the vertigo originates in the inner ear (peripheral) or the brain/brainstem (central), which is a key distinction only a neurological expert can reliably make.

• Diagnosis of Vertigo Syndromes: He specializes in diagnosing specific conditions like Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), Meniere’s Disease, and vestibular migraine, all of which require different management strategies.

• Ruling Out Serious Issues: Using his advanced training, he screens for neurological red flags, ensuring the dizziness is not a symptom of a stroke, multiple sclerosis, or other serious central nervous system diseases.

Neurological and Integrated Treatment Protocols

Treatment for vertigo and dizziness is personalized based on the identified cause. Dr. Rahman’s management strategies may include:

• Targeted Medication: Prescribing anti-vertigo medication and other drugs to manage acute symptoms, alongside preventive medications for conditions like vestibular migraine.

• Vestibular Rehabilitation: Guiding patients through specific exercises designed to retrain the brain’s balance system, which is crucial for long-term relief from chronic dizziness.

• Addressing Systemic Factors: Leveraging his FCPS (Medicine) background to assess and manage systemic issues like anemia, low blood pressure, or medication side effects that may be contributing to the patient’s dizziness.

If recurring dizziness or sudden, severe vertigo is impacting your life, trust the neurological expertise of Dr. Md. Helalur Rahman.
