Persistent Post-Perceptual Dizziness
Persistent post-perceptual dizziness is a type of dizziness that can cause a person to feel unsteady and off-balance. PPD is often caused by an underlying condition, such as an inner ear disorder or a head injury.
There are many possible causes of persistent post-perceptual dizziness. Some common causes include inner ear disorders, such as labyrinthitis or Meniere’s disease. These conditions can cause a person to feel like they are spinning or that their surroundings are moving, making them more likely to lose balance.
Head injuries, such as concussions, can also lead to Persistent Post-Perceptual Dizziness. Head injuries can damage the inner ear or other parts of the vestibular system, which can cause dizziness and imbalance. Migraines are another possible cause of Persistent Post-Perceptual Dizziness. Migraine headaches can cause visual disturbances, leading to dizziness and imbalance.
The most effective treatment for persistent post-perceptual dizziness will depend on the underlying cause. In some cases, PPD may resolve on its own without treatment. However, medical intervention may be necessary if the underlying condition is severe or does not improve with time.
