To the best of my knowledge, vertigo describes a disorder which causes
dizziness or giddiness. There are different kinds. One kind is
positional vertigo. When you change positions (i.e. go from laying down
to standing or standing to laying down) you experience uncomfortable
symptoms. The room can seem to be spinning at times. It depends on
what is causing the vertigo as to whether or not it is treatable.
All I can remember is that one variety goes away within 24 hours if
you treat it with a decongestant. The other kinds hang around longer.
If the decongestant doesn’t work.. you may experience symptoms from
two weeks to six months. Traditional doctors will try to give
you valium and a drug called anti-vert to help you deal with the
symptoms… but these can sometimes just make you drowsy and out of it
and they don’t effect the underlying cause.
hope this helped…

Naomi, how about using the word ‘conventional,’ instead of ‘traditional’?
Traditional is a good word to describe everything that came before the
oppressively-conventional modern medicine.

Conventional is a fine way to describe modern male medicine…
‘Scoose me! for rudely (_I_know!) interrupting the
publicly posted comments,
my *semanticist-ic* slip is showing:
Personal opine:
Conventional came before traditional
as it necessarily was generally accepted
(at least by the ‘hander-downers’)
before being handed down
1995 _non-alternative_ (read ‘most’) medical personnel
dictatorially (can almost read ‘oppressively’) disseminate
conventionally traditional advice
Pre-*modern* medicine medical personnel
disseminated traditionally conventional advice
..
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen…"
Tradition turned this phrase into conventional phrasing…
Traditional (USA, anyway.. handed down speaker to speaker,
event to event), yet, perhaps no longer considered conventional
(phrase usage no longer based upon *agreement/usage* of the masses)
