Vertigo Treatment in Dhaka – Dr. Sajib Saha
Vertigo is the sudden feeling that you or the room around you is spinning. It can make walking, working, driving or even turning in bed frightening. At Concept Tower, Green Road, Dhaka, Dr. Sajib Saha, a vertigo and balance disorder specialist with over 10 years of experience, finds the exact cause of your vertigo and treats it with a clear, step-by-step plan. Patients outside Dhaka can also consult through online video consultation.
What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is not a disease by itself. It is a symptom, usually a spinning or tilting sensation, caused by a problem in the inner ear, the balance nerve or the brain. It is different from general dizziness or lightheadedness. Many patients use “matha ghora” for both, but the treatment depends on the exact cause, which is why a proper diagnosis comes first.
Common Symptoms of Vertigo
- Spinning or whirling sensation
- Dizziness when turning in bed or looking up
- Nausea or vomiting
- Loss of balance or unsteady walking
- Abnormal eye movements (nystagmus)
- Ringing in the ear or ear fullness
- Headache or sensitivity to light and sound
Common Causes of Vertigo
- BPPV: displaced inner ear crystals, the most common cause. Read more on our BPPV treatment page.
- Meniere’s disease: vertigo with hearing loss and tinnitus. See Meniere’s disease treatment.
- Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis: inner ear or nerve inflammation, often after a viral illness.
- Vestibular migraine: vertigo linked to migraine. See vestibular disorder treatment.
- Head injury, medicine side effects, or neurological causes.
How Dr. Sajib Saha Diagnoses Vertigo
- Detailed history: how long the spinning lasts, what triggers it, hearing changes, medicines.
- Bedside examination: eye movement and positional tests such as the Dix-Hallpike test.
- Vestibular testing: VNG (videonystagmography), audiometry and posturography where needed. Read about the vertigo tests in Bangladesh, including the SVV test and DVA test.
- Imaging (only if needed): MRI or CT when a neurological cause is suspected.

When to See a Vertigo Specialist
Book an appointment if dizziness keeps coming back, lasts more than a few days, or affects walking or work. Go to the emergency department immediately if vertigo comes with sudden severe headache, weakness or numbness, difficulty speaking, double vision, chest pain or fainting, as these can be signs of a stroke.

Vertigo Treatment FAQ
Can vertigo be cured permanently?
It depends on the cause. BPPV often improves quickly after repositioning, though it can return. Conditions such as Meniere’s disease are managed long term.
How long does vertigo last?
BPPV episodes last seconds to a minute. Meniere’s attacks can last from 20 minutes to several hours. Vestibular neuritis can cause days of severe symptoms followed by gradual recovery.
Is vertigo dangerous?
Most vertigo is not life-threatening, but it can cause falls and injury, and sometimes signals a serious cause. That is why diagnosis matters.
Do I need an MRI for vertigo?
Not always. Many cases are diagnosed through examination and vestibular tests. Imaging is advised when there are neurological warning signs.
Can I consult online for vertigo?
Yes. Follow-up visits, second opinions and patients outside Dhaka can book an online consultation.
