Vertigo feels like you or the room is spinning. Dizziness can mean lightheadedness, unsteadiness, or feeling faint. Many causes exist—but the inner ear is a common source. An ENT specialist can help distinguish ear-related vertigo from other problems. At Shalaaki Eye and ENT Clinic in Bangalore, we evaluate and treat many ENT causes of vertigo and dizziness.

Common inner ear causes

  • BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) – Brief spinning triggered by head position changes; often treatable with specific manoeuvres after diagnosis.
  • Vestibular neuritis / labyrinthitis – Often after a viral illness; sudden severe vertigo.
  • Menière’s disease – Episodes of vertigo with hearing loss, tinnitus, or ear fullness—needs specialist management.
  • Ear infection or fluid – Can affect balance.

When dizziness may not be ENT

Low blood pressure, heart problems, neurological conditions, medications, anxiety, and dehydration can also cause dizziness. We take a full history and examination; sometimes we refer to cardiology or neurology when the picture isn’t ear-related.

Red flags—seek urgent care

Sudden severe headache, weakness on one side, trouble speaking, double vision, or new hearing loss with vertigo may need emergency evaluation—not a routine clinic slot.
