Is the world literally moving too fast for you? Do you suffer from frequent and severe attacks of vertigo? Better see a doctor fast. You could be a victim of Meniere’s disease.

Meniere's disease is a disturbance of the inner ear that controls our sense of balance or equilibrium. Any defect in this part of the body will naturally lead to vertigo and loss of balance. In the case of Meniere's disease, this condition may occur daily or every few years. Bouts of dizziness may last for a few minutes to an hour or longer.

Other symptoms are episodes of deafness, a ringing or buzzing sound in the affected ear, pain, nausea and vomiting. The disease may strike anyone but usually affects people over 40, especially men.

“For most people, the attacks are infrequent and the disorder is primarily an inconvenience. But for some people, Meniere's disease can lead to complete deafness in the affected ear, and the vertigo and accompanying nausea can be frequent and debilitating. However, most people with the disease are able to maintain their normal daily activities with proper treatment and self-care strategies,” according to the Mayo Clinic.

Meniere's disease can result from chronic ear infections, hemorrhage following a brain concus¬sion, hardening of the arteries of the ear, allergies, a tumor, drugs like streptomycin and quinine, congenital defects in the nervous system or stress. Often, the condition follows the increase in fluid pressure in the inner ear that affects your balance and hearing.

The disease is not life-threatening but it can lead to deafness in the affected ear and an increased risk of falling or an accident. To control symptoms, your doctor may prescribe anti-vertigo medications and a diuretic to reduce fluid retention. If attacks are severe, surgery is another option.

To avoid further attacks, eat regularly, avoid caffeine, limit your salt intake and stop smoking. These simple dietary changes can save you a lot of trouble.

“If you experience problems with your balance between attacks, you may benefit from vestibular rehabilitation therapy. The goal of this therapy, which may include exercises and activities that you perform during therapy sessions and at home, is to help your body and brain regain the ability to process balance information correctly,” said the Mayo Clinic.

To help you rest during an attack, take Sedamine – the supplement that will help you sleep naturally. Visit http://sedamine.com/ for details.

Popular prescription drugs for diarrhea are opium (as pare­goric) and its derivatives which include diphenoxylate with atropine and loperamide.
