Meniere’s Syndrome
What is Meniere’s Syndrome?
Meniere’s syndrome is a debilitating disease that causes the sufferer to have attacks that include symptoms such as vertigo, nausea, vomiting and profuse sweating. After the attack happens, the person is going to be completely exhausted and may be required to stay in bed for a few days to two weeks. These attacks can come at random times and the person who suffers from this may never know when an attack is coming on. For this reason, many who suffer from this should not drive or operate any machinery that can cause harm when an attack happens.
Since there is no cure for Meniere’s syndrome, only the symptoms can be treated. These treatments include treating the vertigo with medications that are specifically targeted at keeping the dizziness to a minimum. The nausea and vomiting is treated by using nausea medications. The vomiting can be so bad that it causes the stomach muscles pain so some may be prescribed mild pain medication.
A good diet is also required to keep attacks at a minimum. Those who suffer from Meniere’s syndrome should maintain the same diet that those who have high cholesterol are going to be on. There are many web sites that offer good diets for keeping the cholesterol down. Basically staying away from fatty meats or organ meats such as liver, these are going to help to lower cholesterol.
Eating lots of lean meats and fish along with leafy green vegetables is a good way to lower cholesterol.
If you think you may have this syndrome, then you should contact your physician immediately to begin the treatments. Until your appointment, try to maintain a good diet and do not do anything that can make an attack dangerous. This can include driving a car, being alone with a child or anything that can do harm to yourself or others if an attacks surprises you.
