Dizziness with head tilted up may be due to benign positional vertigo, cervical spondylosis, Meniere’s disease and other causes.
1. Benign positional vertigo: benign positional vertigo is often triggered by a specific change in head position, and is a relatively common vestibular lesion, usually with a sudden onset of the disease, the appearance of vertigo is often closely related to a certain head position or positional changes, and there will be tilted head dizziness symptoms.
2. Cervical spondylosis: due to degenerative changes in the cervical spine, cervical stenosis, chronic strain injury, etc., the vertebral artery will be compressed, and due to localized arterial compression, the blood circulation is not smooth, and dizziness may be manifested when tilting the head.
3. Ménière’s disease: the cause of Ménière’s disease is still unclear, the pathological changes are mainly related to the edema of the membrane labyrinth, the membrane labyrinth of the inner ear is watery leading to lesions in the inner ear, resulting in vertigo, which can also be manifested in the symptom of dizziness when tilting the head.
Dizziness caused by tilting the head is caused by many reasons, based on this symptom alone is not enough to diagnose the disease, it is recommended that the patient consult a doctor in a timely manner to clarify the cause of targeted treatment.
