Hello Abhishek ji, Don’t worry 😊
I have totally understood your issue.
*Dizziness and vertigo are often associated with vitiated VATA and PITTA doshas. VATA governs movement, including nervous system function, and PITTA relates to digestion and metabolism. An imbalance in these doshas can disrupt the inner ear’s equilibrium function and affect the brain, leading to dizziness, imbalance, and associated symptoms.
*Ayurveda also considers digestive disturbances leading to toxin buildup (Ama) and impaired nervous system function and poor circulation as possible causes of these symptoms.
*The sub-type of Kapha called Tarpaka Kapha, located in the head, is responsible for brain and sense organ stability and acts as a buffer against Vata and Pitta’s degenerative and inflammatory actions on nerves. Disruption of Tarpaka Kapha due to Vata, Pitta, and Rajas guna vitiation can lead to a loss of body stability and the sensation of spinning.
*Your neck pain and dizziness may suggest a possible component of cervical vertigo, caused by problems in the cervical spine (neck), affecting balance and coordination.
*As a diabetic, low blood sugar could be a contributing factor to dizziness, as your body needs enough glucose for energy.
FOLLOW 1. A consistent schedule for waking, meals, and sleep. 2. Practice meditation, deep breathing techniques, and yoga to calm the nervous system and reduce stress, which can exacerbate vertigo. 3.Ensure sufficient and sound sleep. 4.Engage in gentle exercises like walking and yoga postures to improve blood circulation, balance, and stability. 5. Avoid sudden head movements and stand up slowly to prevent triggering dizziness. 6. Practice eye exercises to improve visual stability and reduce dizziness. 7.Be mindful of posture to reduce strain on the neck muscles. 8.Limit strenuous activities, long hours of work, and prolonged computer usage.
Start taking taking these medications, 1.Pathyaadikashayam 20ml with equal amount of Lukewarm water empty stomach twice in a day. 2.Giloyghanvati 1-1-1 3.Shirahshooladivajra ras 1-0-1 for 7 days. 4.Ashwagandha choorna 1tsf twice in a day with Lukewarm milk.
*Daily Massage your scalp with BRAHMI OIL.
Follow up after 15 days.

HELLO ABHISHEK,
From your symptoms -dizziness or head spinning when lying in bed -imbalance or swaying when walking -occasional headache and neck pain -stiffness in head -left ear to neck discomfort -diabetes on medication -uses spectacles –the possible causes can be a combination of
A) INNER EAR BALANCE PROBLEM (vestibular disorder) -the inner ear has tiny structures and fluid that help maintain balance, If fluid shifts abnormally or tiny crystals in the ear canals move, you can feel spinning (vertigo) -This can be triggered when you turn in bed or change head position suddenly (common in BPPV - benign paroxysmal positional vertigo)
B) NECK SPINE ISSUES (cervical spondylosis or muscle spasm) -Your neck contains nerves and blood vessels that carry signals and blood to the brain. If there’s stiffness, degeneration or muscle tightness, it can disturb balance signals -diavetes can worsen nerve health(neuropathy), making the system more sensitive
C) EYE STRAIN -if your glasses number has changed or there is vision strain, your brain gets “confused signals” about position and balance.
D) AYURVEDA’S VIEW -In Ayurveda, dizziness and imbalance are mainly due to -VATA AGGRAVATION= affecting nerves and coordination -KAPHA OBSTRUCTION= fluid imbalance in the head/ear region -Sometimes pitta aggravation= causing headaches, heaviness
TREATMENT GOALS -restoring balance in the inner ear and brain connection -strengthening nerves and neck muscles -reducing vata aggravation and clearing Kapha blockages -improving blood circulation to brain and ear -preventing recurrence by lifestyle, diet and exercises -keeping diabetes under control to prevent nerve damage
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) SARASWATARISHTA= 15ml with equal water after meals twice daily for 3 months =nervous system tonic, improves memory, focus, and calms vata
2) BRAHMI VATI (GOLD)= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 2 months =enhances nerve conduction, calms anxiety, improves coordination
3) GODANTI BHASMA= 125 mg with honey twice daily after meals for 1 month =reduce headache, pitta and dizziness
4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night for 3month =strengthen nerves, reduces fatigue and vata
5) PRAVALA PISHTI= 125 mg with rose water twice daily after meals for 1month =cooling, calms head heaviness, helps in balance
6) PUNARNAVADI KASHAYA= 15 ml with warm water twice daily before meals for 1 month =reduces excess fluid in body
EXTERNAL TREATMENT
1) NASYA= instill 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril daily morning =clears head channels, improves nerve conduction from head and neck
2) KARNAPOORANA= instill 2 drops of biles taila in each ear =nourishes ear nerves and balance organs
LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Avoid sudden head movements- turn slowly in bed, bend knees before getting up -Limit screen strain- take breaks every 20 minute when using phone/computer -Sleep= 7-8 hours, regular timing -Hydration= sip warm water through the day, avoid chilled drinks -Posture- keep neck straight, avoid long downward neck bending (mobile use)
YOGA AND PRANAYAM Avoid inverted poses like headstand in your condition
YOGA ASANA -tadasana= improves posture and balance -Setu bandhasana= strengthens neck and spine -Balasana= calms mind -Shavasana= for relaxation
PRANAYAM -Anulom Vilom= balances vata and pitta -Bhramari= humming sound soothes nervous system -Sheetali
Practice for 10-15 minutes daily in calm place
DIET
FACOUR= warm, light, freshly cooked food -ghee in small quantity -ginger, cumin, coriander -moong dal khichdi, vegetable soups -seasonal fruits like pomegranate and apple
AVOID -cold and stale food, very oily/fried snacks -excessive tea/coffee, excess salt -sour , fermented food if they trigger dizziness -maintain blood sugar stability- eat at regular intervals
HOME REMEDIES
-GINGER TEA(mild)= improves circulation and digestion, reduces dizziness
-TULSI + HONEY= calms nerves and improves immunity
-WARM SESAME OIL NECK MASSAGE daily= improves circulation
-TRIPHALA AT NIGHT= 1/2 tsp with warm water= keeps digestion clear
Since dizziness can also have serious causes, it’s important to rule them out -blood sugar profile -blood pressure check -ear examination -eye checkup -cervical spine x ray
Your condition is managable with a combined approach -control root cause (vata - kapha imbalance + cervical/inner ear issues) -support nerves and balance system with Ayurveda -maintain neck health and posture -keep diabetes in check to avoid further nerve damage -use home measures daily
The improvement is usually seen in 3-6 weeks with consistent effort, but complete stability and prevention of recurrence may take 2-3 months of disciplined follow up
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
