Ménière's disease is a common inner ear disorder that causes vertigo. Clinically, it is divided into two periods: an acute attack period and a quiescent period. Regarding the diet for Ménière's disease, first and foremost, the diet should be light, similar to fish, shrimp, seafood, while it is best to minimize or avoid consumption of alcohol, spicy foods such as chili peppers. Secondly, it is important to be aware of other items such as coffee and tea, which are stimulants and should ideally be avoided as they can affect the sleep patterns of patients with Ménière's disease. Thirdly, as previously mentioned, foods that are common allergens like fish, shrimp, and seafood should also be consumed in moderation.

Can people with Ménière's disease run?

Meniere's disease, also known as Meniere's disease, is a common condition in otolaryngology. The main symptoms include dizziness, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, and a sensation of spinning objects. Patients with Meniere's disease should not run during an acute episode, as it may significantly worsen symptoms or even cause falls. During remission, patients may run, but should avoid vigorous exercise. The pathogenesis of Meniere's disease is not yet fully understood. It is mainly considered to be related to fluid accumulation in the inner ear's membranous labyrinth. In treatment, methods such as vasodilation and nerve nutrition are used to improve symptoms of vertigo and hearing loss.

Does Meniere's disease require long-term medication?

Meniere's disease is a relatively common otolaryngological condition, primarily characterized by recurrent episodes of vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss. Generally, conservative treatment with medications is considered, but most patients only require medication during acute episodes. In daily life, it is necessary to adjust one's diet to avoid spicy and stimulating foods, follow a low-salt diet, and avoid consuming coffee, strong tea, alcohol, and smoking. Most patients can control and alleviate their symptoms through these adjustments without the need for long-term medication. If the results are not satisfactory, some patients may need to consider surgical treatment. (Specific medication use should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor.)

Early symptoms of Ménière's disease

Ménière's disease is a relatively common inner ear disorder. Its initial symptoms are numerous, with dizziness being the most common, predominantly vertigo. It may also be accompanied by tinnitus, mild hearing loss, and some patients may experience nausea, vomiting, and a feeling of fullness in the ears. There are individual differences in specific symptoms. After the onset, it is recommended to visit an otolaryngology department. Tests such as audiological examination, cochlear electrography, and MRI of the inner ear can be conducted. Through these auxiliary examinations, combined with the patient's clinical symptoms and the doctor's clinical experience, a definitive diagnosis can be made, which is important for subsequent treatment. During the treatment process, regular follow-ups are needed to observe the effects.

There is some individual variability in clinical symptoms, with the most common symptoms being tinnitus, hearing loss, a feeling of ear fullness, and vertigo. Generally, the duration of the condition lasts about 20 minutes to half a day. Some patients may experience more severe vertigo, while others may have milder symptoms, depending on individual reactions and the severity of the condition. Most patients have recurrent episodes. In terms of treatment, most patients can consider conservative treatment, but surgical treatment may be necessary for a small number of patients who do not respond well to conservative therapy.
