Our body in lying down, squatting and then suddenly stand up, will encounter a sudden dizziness, this is generally postural hypotension caused by the general slowly stand up, this situation will be alleviated. Some of the sudden dizziness is thought to be caused by high blood pressure or cervical spondylosis, which is caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain, but there is also a possibility that the "crazy stone" is messing up.

The 57-year-old Chen Auntie recently had a case of sudden dizziness. She retired, every night to dance 2 hours of square dance, a few days ago when the dance turned around, accidentally hit with someone fell, then no discomfort, but that night and the next few days, every time you go to bed, the head just hit the pillow, turn over, get up, feel the sky and the earth, she thought it was a cervical spine problem, so go to the hospital to check, but finally cervical spine X-ray suggests that there are cervical spine degeneration, atlas, pivot, and so on. The first time I saw this, I was able to see the cervical vertebrae and the small joints were not clearly dislocated, which means that the cervical vertebrae did not cause the problem.

The doctor then asked Auntie Chen to repeat the actions of lying down, turning over, getting up, and so on, and when doing these actions, Auntie felt very dizzy, accompanied by nystagmus, and finally recognized as "otolithic dizziness".

Otolithic dizziness is commonly explained as vertigo caused by otolithiasis. It is a kind of dislocation of otoliths in the inner ear, when the head changes position, a violent and short-lived vertigo disease. Usually, the spinning sensation lasts no more than a minute, but the discomfort can last from several minutes to tens of minutes. The attack can be repeated by changing the position of the head again. In severe cases, however, a person can spin even when raising or lowering his or her head. Just like some people, whether it is a bus, small car, as long as a start or brake time can Halo to vomit, some people will not, in fact, this is also caused by otolithosis.

The otolith, a real stone, research found that it is actually a calcium carbonate crystals, with kidney stones and gallstones are not the same. It is innate and has been with us since birth. It comes from the otolithic organ of our inner ear (also known as the ellipsoid cystic spot and the globular cystic spot), every one of us has this otolithic particle, which normally maintains the balance of our body. Without this otolith, our life would be very painful, because without it we would not be able to maintain our normal balance function, to walk and to live. Normally, the otolith is attached to the otolithic membrane and some pathogenic factors can cause the otolith to fall out. It is in this case that vertigo occurs.

1, the attack is related to changes in body position, specific position induced vertigo;

2, generally short duration, only a few seconds to 1 minute;

3, the attack will look at things will be rotated or feel itself in the rotation, while cervical vertebrae and other neurological problems caused by the vertigo to look at things do not rotate;

4, the stone dizziness is often accompanied by horizontal or rotational nystagmus
