Impaired balance organ?

Thus begins a vestibular neuritis!
ㅤ
Sudden sustained spinning vertigo, severe nausea, vomiting, and you can neither stand nor sit? For those affected, this moment feels dramatic and frightening. Behind it often lies a Vestibular neuritis.
ㅤ
What happens in the body during an acute failure:

• Two organs in balance: We have two balance organs, one on the right and one on the left. Normally, both systems send absolutely synchronous signals to the brain.
• Sudden failure: If an equilibrium organ suddenly fails, the brain is immediately confronted with contradictory information. This sensory conflict triggers the massive, acute rotational vertigo.
• Typical acute symptoms: Characteristic are continuous vertigo, severe loss of balance, and severe nausea and vomiting.
• Hearing remains intact: In pure vestibular neuritis, hearing is typically not affected.
• Not dangerous, but requires further investigation: The vestibular neuritis itself is not dangerous. Nevertheless, a suddenly developing, severe vertigo with acute loss of balance must always be immediately investigated by a doctor to rule out other neurological causes.
