Vertigo and Its Detrimental Impact on Life and Employment

Vertigo is a balance disorder that induces an abnormal sensation of spinning or movement of the environment, even when an individual is stationary. Its causes stem from two main factors: disruptions affecting the body's balance systems such as inflammation and infections particularly in the vestibular system located within the inner ear (Peripheral Vertigo), and cerebral conditions such as head trauma, impaired blood circulation to the brain, or even tumors (Central Vertigo).

This balance disorder significantly impairs an individual's quality of life, affecting daily activities and work environments. Vertigo sufferers experience difficulty in performing physical activities such as walking, driving, sleeping, and often endure fatigue, thereby reducing their overall quality of life.

Vertigo profoundly diminishes an individual's quality of life, impairing their ability to engage in daily activities and navigate professional settings. Physical exertion becomes arduous, sleep disturbances are prevalent, and persistent fatigue exacerbates the condition, leading to a pervasive decline in overall life satisfaction.

Vertigo also poses significant challenges in the workplace, increasing the risk of accidents and reducing productivity. Occupations involving heights, requiring high concentration, extensive mobility, operation of heavy machinery, exposure to unstable environments such as ships or offshore platforms, and hazards involving exposure to hazardous chemicals are particularly unsuitable for individuals with vertigo.

Conducting comprehensive medical assessments during recruitment for a company is crucial, especially for roles with elevated occupational risks, to determine whether prospective employees exhibit symptoms of vertigo or potential related ailments. Diagnostic measures such as medical history reviews, physical examinations, Romberg testing, audiometry evaluations, and MRI scans are commonly utilized to detect signs of vertigo and inform appropriate employment decisions.
