Can Doing Yoga While Suffering From Vertigo Have Any Adverse Effect On Me?
I have had vertigo for about 10 days now it started while i was doing yoga.Initially it was just when i turned my head but now it is constant. i have had a CT scan and a MRI they came back normal. On my CT scan they saw a growth on my thyroid we are addressing that as soon as we can but are having to wait because of the dye used in the CT. Can my problem still be just vertigo can i feel this way all morning?

1. Doing yoga unsystematically can aggravate the problem [vertigo] rather than showing its positive health benefits. So, it is recommended that you should practice it under the guidance of experienced yoga instructor or therapist.
2. If you want to get the full benefits of yoga, it is better to perform yogic practices in a sequence i.e. Kriyas then Yogasanas then Pranayama and later Bandha and Meditation. [Therefore, before taking up yoga, it is essential that you check with your doctor regarding thyroid growth concern] since practicing yoga in conditions like endocrine disorders,chronic osteoporosis, blood pressure conditions, spine problems, pregnancy and ear problems [vertigo] may intensify or aggravate these conditions.
PS. please follow the following set of questionnaire and clinical examination:
1. Is vertigo associated with light headedness, nausea?
2. Is vertigo associated with any neurological sign [ since CT/MRI came normal can be excluded]
3. If vertigo is not promptly controlled, ask for Hemoglobin [for pallor], X-ray: Cervical spine [AP & Lateral] and cardiovascular examination [for any murmur]
4. have an ENT checkup [since vestibular symptoms are there] and also Ophthalmic check up for any vision problem.
5. Avoid: excess physical –mental exertion, sun exposure, corrylium, smoking, errhine therapy, betel leaves, gruel, soup, day time sleeping, garlic, ginger, onion, spicy-heavy- junk food, mustard oil, pickles, dehydration,Caffeine, alcohol, tobacco,Artificial sweeteners and highly sweet or salty foods. .Avoid dizziness-inducing activities,like heavy exercise in hot weather, rapidly-moving rides or roller coasters,or heavy drinking.
6. Take: mint, coriander, tomato, cumin, plenty of water, vitamins and mineral supplements, apple, banana,grapes,dates
.Take 3 teaspoons of bitter gourd with a glass of water every morning for a month.
.Mix 4-5 dates in half glass of water and drink 2 times daily for a month.
. Apple, almond, banana, broccoli, cantaloupe, melon, carrot, cashew nut, corn, cauliflower, grapes, guava, lemon, mango, orange, pineapple, soybean, spinach have anti oxidant so take them in plenty.
