Romanian podcast episode (Boabe de Cunoaștere) in which host Mihail Pautov interviews Dr. Ioana Vodă about dizziness and vertigo: how to distinguish non-specific "amețeală" from true vertigo, the physiology of balance (vision, cervical proprioception, inner-ear receptors including otoliths), and common causes—benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV/VPPB) due to dislodged otoliths, vascular/hemovascular contributors (asymmetric arm blood pressure, microvascular disease, trombophilia), polypharmacy in older adults, and metabolic deficiencies (vitamin D, iron). The episode explains diagnostic methods (inter-arm blood pressure, positional testing with infrared/video-oculography to detect nystagmus, caloric tests, video-head impulse, limits of CT/MRI for otoliths, audiometry and acufenometry for tinnitus) and treatments (mechanical repositioning maneuvers, vestibular rehabilitation/desensitization, motorized repositioning chairs, targeted medical or hematologic/endocrine treatment for secondary causes, and tinnitus therapy). Practical advice includes: avoid taking vestibular-suppressant pills for mechanical BPPV, immediate self-care steps during an acute vertigo attack, red flags suggesting central causes/AVC, and when to seek specialist care. The episode also mentions an international congress on vertigo and tinnitus (dates given: 18–19 September) and local availability of motorized repositioning chairs (two units in Romania).
