This form of the disease is called vestibular migraine or migrainous vertigo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18px;\">The basic mechanism by which you experience the space around you and control your balance begins with sensory receptors in the vestibular system and then ends up and is interpreted by the brain. When these receptors do not function properly or the brain misinterprets the signals, a person can experience vertigo, unsteadiness, or dizziness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18px;\">The majority of these patients with vestibular symptoms usually have a history of migraine with or without aura. However, 3 in 10 people experience migraine vertigo without a prior history of migraine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18px;\">Vestibular migraine is one of the most common causes of recurrent spontaneous vertigo attacks lasting from minutes to several days. Despite being a relatively common condition, as it is the second most common cause of vertigo after benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, it continues to be underdiagnosed and undertreated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18px;\">Individuals with a history of benign paroxysmal positional <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.gr\/en\/vertigo-dizziness-2\/\">vertigo<\/a> in childhood are at risk of developing migraine vertigo without a history of migraines. In fact, sufferers often have a lifelong history of motion sensitivity. Many experience car vertigo as children and have motion sickness as adults.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11253\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11253\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11253\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/%CE%AF%CE%BB%CE%B3%CE%B3%CE%BF%CF%82.%CE%B5%CF%85%CE%AF%CE%B1%CF%83%CE%B9%CF%82.ent_-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Vestibular migraine.ent\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11253\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vestibular migaine.ent<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18px;\">Clinical experience has shown that vestibular migraine can be a chronic problem.
