What is an otolith? How to prevent otolith?
Otolithiasis is a common vertigo disease, the full name is "benign paroxysmal positional vertigo". Patients usually have dizziness after turning over or lying flat, commonly known as "otolith", because it is related to the shedding of "otolith".

The prevention and treatment of otolith can be carried out from the following aspects:

1. Improve sleep, avoid staying up late, avoid overwork, avoid sudden change of posture, avoid excessive exercise, and actively prevent and treat basic diseases such as migraine, osteoporosis and arteriosclerosis.

2. Scientific exercise, moderate exercise.

3. Keep a good mood and avoid problems such as anxiety and insomnia.

4. Control cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid.

5. Appropriate supplementation of vitamin D and calcium.

6. Timely treatment and complete reduction. Some patients suffered from otolith, thought they were cured after reduced treatment, and decided to stop continuing treatment. In fact, no symptoms do not necessarily mean complete relief, nystagmus needs to disappear completely. As a result, they will fall off again after a period of time or even a few days. Not only should the otolith be completely reset, but many patients with otolith membrane ischemia need longer drug treatment to improve the "soil" of otolith membrane and achieve the purpose of improving the "otolith foundation". Only when the otolith has a solid foundation can it grow firmly on the otolith membrane and not fall off easily.

It should be noted that the prevention and treatment of otolith needs to comprehensively consider the specific situation of patients and formulate personalized programs. If the patient's symptoms are serious or last for a long time, it is recommended to seek medical advice in time so that the doctor can make a suitable treatment plan according to the specific situation.
