Who is prone to otoliths

Otoliths can occur at any age, and the main predilection is for patients who stay up late for long periods of time, are tired, poorly rested, under mental stress, or have high blood pressure or endocrine system disorders. Otoliths are also known clinically as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, which causes recurrent dizziness, usually in the form of spinning dizziness, and is directly related to the patient’s turning over and getting up. Otolith attacks do not last more than a minute and most patients get better on their own. During the attacks, patients may experience significant nausea, vomiting, and other related symptoms, but no hearing loss or tinnitus. If otolithiasis occurs repeatedly, the diagnosis can be confirmed by visiting a hospital for electronic otoscopy, electro auscultation, and nystagmography. In the treatment, local repositioning treatment is needed to get better, while sleep and rest need to be adjusted, and the movement should be slow to avoid recurrent attacks.
