Vertigo and balance disorders are conditions that cause a false sensation of movement, spinning, or unsteadiness. These problems commonly originate from the inner ear (vestibular system), which is responsible for maintaining balance and spatial orientation.

Dr. Sundar Dhungana offers specialized evaluation and evidence-based treatment for vertigo and balance disorders, helping patients regain stability, confidence, and quality of life.

Common Symptoms of Vertigo & Balance Disorders

Patients may experience one or more of the following:

  • Spinning sensation (vertigo)
  • Dizziness or light-headedness
  • Loss of balance or unsteadiness
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Difficulty walking or standing
  • Feeling pulled to one side
  • Headache or ear fullness
  • Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
  • Hearing changes

These symptoms may be short-lived or persistent and should be evaluated by an ENT specialist.
