Overview
There are no established risk factors for vertigo, as it is not a diagnosis itself, it is a symptom of an underlying disease. In some vertigo causing disease, risk factors or provoking, factors can be controlled to prevent the occurrence of vertigo.
Risk Factors
Following are identified risk factors for diseases that cause vertigo:[1][2][3]
- Immunosuppression can provoke Herpes zoster oticus.
- Upper respiratory viral illness can lead to acute vestibular neuritis.
- Drug-induced vertigo: Dose reduction or discontinuation of the medication in patients presenting with vertigo may decrease the future incidence.
- Recognized triggers including altered sleep patterns, chocolate, red wine, ripened/aged cheese, can provoke vestibular migraine.
- Head injury can trigger epileptic vertigo.
- Increased stress can cause psychological vertigo.
- Changes in head position can provoke vertigo in acute labyrinthitis, benign positional paroxysmal vertigo, cerebellopontine angle tumor, multiple sclerosis, perilymphatic fistula.
- Perilymphatic fistula can be triggered by loud noises, changes in ear pressure, excessive straining, head trauma.
