Vertigo & Dizziness Treatment in Johor Bahru

Vertigo & Pening Kepala

Vertigo — the sensation that you or the world around you is spinning — is a common and distressing complaint. In Malaysia, the most frequent cause is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), triggered by tiny calcium crystals dislodging in the inner ear. Other causes include labyrinthitis (inner ear infection), Meniere's disease, and occasionally central nervous system conditions. Most vertigo is treatable and improves significantly with the right approach.

Symptoms of Vertigo & Dizziness

✓Sudden spinning sensation (vertigo)
✓Dizziness worse with head position changes
✓Nausea and vomiting during episodes
✓Balance problems and unsteady walking
✓Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
✓Feeling of fullness in the ear

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if vertigo is severe, recurrent, accompanied by hearing loss, or if you have had a fall. Seek emergency care immediately if dizziness is accompanied by sudden severe headache, double vision, difficulty speaking, facial drooping, or limb weakness — these may indicate stroke.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Our doctors at Klinik Muhibbah assess the type and cause of your vertigo through a detailed history and neurological examination including the Dix-Hallpike test. For BPPV, we can perform the Epley manoeuvre — a series of gentle head movements that repositions the displaced crystals and often provides immediate relief. Labyrinthitis is treated with vestibular suppressants and steroids. We prescribe anti-vertigo medication (betahistine, cinnarizine) for symptom relief and refer to ENT or neurology for complex cases.

I have pening kepala tiba-tiba (sudden dizziness) — should I see a doctor?▼
Yes, sudden onset dizziness should always be assessed medically. Most causes are benign (like BPPV), but some require urgent treatment. Our doctors will assess whether your dizziness is from the inner ear, low blood pressure, anaemia, or requires further investigation.
What is the Epley manoeuvre for vertigo?▼
The Epley manoeuvre is a series of specific head and body movements performed by a doctor to reposition displaced calcium crystals in the inner ear canal. It is very effective for BPPV and often provides relief within minutes. Our doctors are trained to perform this procedure.
Can blood pressure cause dizziness?▼
Yes, both high blood pressure (hypertension) and low blood pressure (hypotension, especially on standing) can cause dizziness. We routinely check blood pressure during vertigo consultations as a simple first step in identifying a treatable cause.
