Ear stone syndrome is a relatively common otolaryngological condition, clinically referred to as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. The main symptom is brief vertigo that occurs during changes in body position, usually lasting about ten seconds. The vertigo quickly subsides once the body position is stabilized, and there are generally no symptoms of tinnitus or hearing loss. In terms of treatment, medication is not recommended as the first option. Most patients can recover after manual repositioning treatment. If manual repositioning is ineffective, mechanical chair repositioning may be considered. If the condition still does not improve, oral anti-vertigo medications, which inhibit vestibular function and control vertigo, may be considered. (The use of medications should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

Can vestibular neuritis cause high blood pressure?

Otolithiasis is a relatively common otolaryngologic disease, clinically known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Clinically, it mainly manifests as transient dizziness, but the duration is generally short, and most patients do not experience an increase in blood pressure. If the symptoms of dizziness are particularly severe and the patient is quite anxious, it may cause a temporary increase in blood pressure. However, if the symptoms of dizziness subside, the blood pressure will also decrease. This situation is relatively more pronounced in patients with hypertension. The treatment for otolithiasis primarily involves manual repositioning therapy, which is quite effective for most patients, although a small number of patients may need to combine it with oral medication.

Can otolithiasis heal itself?

Otolithiasis is a relatively common otolaryngological disease, clinically referred to as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. This condition is mainly caused by lesions in the inner ear, vestibule, or semicircular canals. Some patients may recover on their own, but regular follow-ups are needed during the recovery period to monitor changes in the condition. If clinical symptoms are severe and recur frequently, it is recommended to actively seek timely treatment. Currently, manual repositioning therapy is commonly used. However, if manual repositioning therapy is not effective for some patients, mechanical chair repositioning may be an option. Additionally, some patients may need to combine treatment with medications. However, a very small number of patients who do not respond to conservative treatment may need to consider surgery.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a condition related to dizziness.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a relatively common otolaryngological condition, clinically referred to as benign, paroxysmal, positional vertigo. It primarily occurs when tiny particles enter the semicircular canals, and with changes in body position, it can easily trigger episodes of vertigo. Generally, the duration of vertigo is quite brief, lasting about several seconds, and the symptoms of vertigo quickly disappear after the body or head is stabilized. However, it tends to be recurrent and generally does not accompany symptoms like tinnitus, headache, or hearing loss. Currently, a common treatment is manual repositioning, which helps most patients recover and alleviate their condition after being performed.

Is otolithiasis serious?

Otolithiasis, also known as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), is generally not very serious. Most patients can control and alleviate the condition through timely manual repositioning treatments, but the condition may recur. A small number of patients have severe conditions where manual repositioning treatments are not effective. For these cases, machine chair repositioning combined with drug treatment can be considered, and most patients can recover. Only a small number of patients with severe conditions, where repositioning treatments are ineffective and recurring episodes significantly impact daily life, might consider undergoing surgical treatment. Currently, the commonly used technique is semicircular canal occlusion, which generally has good therapeutic effects.
