It appears that vertigo is the result of insufficient blood supply. It should be treated by a physician…Welsh, Welsh & Lewin, Annals of Otolaryngology, Rhinol., Laryngol., July 2000.

DETAILS: Another view was espoused in the Medical Journal of Australia*, that there may be benign causes, such as sleeping position, or migraines. This report suggested that "Exercise therapy...." rather than drug treatment may be advisable, and that the same may be true for dizziness. A second opinion is always advisable.

*Dr. J. Waterston, Alfred Hospital, Melbourne, May 15, 2000.
