Balance Disorder Treatment in Dhaka – Dr. Sajib Saha
Do you feel unsteady when you walk, afraid of falling, or dizzy when you move your head? These can be signs of a balance disorder. Dr. Sajib Saha is a balance disorder specialist in Dhaka who identifies whether the problem comes from your inner ear, brain or other body systems, and builds a personalised recovery plan.
What is Balance Disorders?
Your balance depends on the inner ear (vestibular system), eyes, muscles, joints and brain working together. A balance disorder happens when any part of this system fails, causing unsteadiness, dizziness or a spinning sensation. Balance problems can affect people of any age but become more common with aging, and they raise the risk of falls.
Symptoms of Balance Disorders
- Unsteadiness or staggering while walking
- Spinning sensation (vertigo)
- Lightheadedness or feeling faint
- Blurred vision when moving the head
- Fear of falling or actual falls
- Nausea or vomiting
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
- Discomfort in busy places, crowds or on stairs
Causes of Balance Disorders
- Inner ear conditions: BPPV, Meniere’s disease, vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis
- Vestibular migraine and PPPD (persistent postural-perceptual dizziness)
- Head injury or concussion
- Neurological conditions including stroke
- Medicine side effects
- Low blood pressure, anemia or blood sugar problems
- Aging and reduced sensory function
How We Diagnose Balance Disorders
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of treatment. Evaluation may include:
- Detailed symptom and medical history
- ENT and neurological examination
- Audiometry (hearing test)
- VNG (videonystagmography) and eye movement tests
- Posturography to measure body sway
- Imaging (CT or MRI) when needed
See the vertigo and balance tests explained, including the SVV test and DVA test.
