DIZZINESS 2 !!

another.....can electro-magnetic waves,like the ones emmitted from a
computer cause T to be louder or more importantly for me dizziness?I have
had numerous ct;s and a mri,luckily they found no nasty's!! thankyou again!!

There is no evidence that EM radiation is to blame.
Most folks presume that using a computer is a passive activity with no
stimuli that can provoke vertigo, but that's simply not true. There are
LOTS of head movements during computer use (especially if you're like me
and don't touch-type...), moving the head up and down from keyboard to
screen, over to the mouse, over more to the paers on the desk, over to
the other side where the phone is, all of these head movements can
trigger *motion provoked* vertigo.
If your dizziness is also provoked by visual stimuli, scrolling text and
changing screens on the computer can also trigger symptoms. Even worse
is using the computer in an open area where there is lots of activity
(things moving around) in your peripheral visual field.
All of these things that *provoke* vertigo can be helped with vestibular
rehabilitation therapy.
Keep in mind that the details of inner ear structure (the hair cells,
fluid levels, nerve firing, etc.) cannot be see on MRI or CT scans.
Normal scans DO NOT equal normal inner ear, they rule out mass lesions
like tumors, blood clots and temporal bone fractures.

if you were to climb inside a microwave oven and turn it on (you will need a
switch on the inside :-)) the electromagnetic radiation would act on your
molecular structure. A few years ago there was some statistical information
gathered regarding the incidence of miscarriage among computer operators and
a follow-up study was planned. I don't know what the results were.

As the folks at Duck's Breath (creators of the Dr. Science radio
show...) say: "He's not a REAL doctor..." "I have a MASTERS degree..."
in Public Health...
Along the same lines, what the heck is WTF? ;)

screen and book. If the glasses cause strain either in reading the pages on the
desk or the screen or whatever this can cause lots of symptoms. I ofter
prescribe "bifocals", upper for the screen and lower for the papers on the
desk.

provoked vertigo. Most research indicates that peripheral vision (what
you see out of the corner of your eye...)is used more in maintaining
postural control than foveal (focused) vision.
The major contribution I've seen of glasses to vertigo is that when my
dizzy patients get a new prescription, their dizziness is invariably
*worse* for a few days until they adjust to them. Most of my patient's
have LOTS of trouble with multifocal lenses. Some have gone to the
trouble of having contacts for distance vision, then a set of glasses to
wear OVER the contacts for close-up work.
