Vestibular migraine is a neurological condition that combines migraine-related symptoms with episodes of dizziness, vertigo, or balance disturbances. Unlike traditional migraines, vestibular migraine may occur with or without a headache. People affected by this condition often experience sensations of spinning, rocking, swaying, or unsteadiness that can last from a few minutes to several hours or even days. Symptoms may be triggered by stress, lack of sleep, hormonal changes, dehydration, certain foods, bright lights, or strong odors.

During an episode, individuals may also develop nausea, motion sensitivity, visual disturbances, sensitivity to light and sound, and difficulty concentrating. Vestibular migraine is one of the most common causes of recurrent vertigo and can significantly affect daily activities, work performance, and quality of life. Diagnosis is based on medical history, symptom patterns, and the exclusion of other vestibular disorders, as no single test can definitively confirm the condition.

Treatment typically involves identifying and avoiding triggers, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, and using medications when necessary. Preventive migraine therapies, vestibular rehabilitation exercises, and stress-management techniques may help reduce the frequency and severity of attacks. With proper diagnosis and individualized care, many people can successfully manage symptoms and improve balance and overall well-being.
