Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Gracie: American medical doctors are well trained in anatomy and physiology and consequently are quite good at diagnosis but because there are numerous causes of vertigo your husband may have to go to a neurologist, an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist or to a comprehensive clinic like the House Clinic in Los Angeles for a definite diagnosis. Edwin Casimero is almost certainly in error, in that the external meatus -- the ear cartilage on the outside of the skull is not part of the complicated mechanism of the inner ear, the vestibular apparatus, that maintains equilibrium. My wife suffers from Meniere's Disease -- characterized by acute attacks of vertigo leading to nausea and vomiting-- very similar to motion sickness and often ameliorated in the same way by Dramamine. She is able to largely control it by diet. This probably has no relevance to your husband's vertigo. I strongly recommend you consult with someone trained in this field, or at least check sites like www.doctoryourself.com which is authoritative and informed.
