Bedside examination first
Many cases of positional vertigo can be identified through the history and correctly performed positional tests.

Start with what you are feeling
The right treatment depends on the pattern of your dizziness
Brief spinning when you turn in bed, hours of unsteadiness and dizziness with hearing changes do not always have the same cause. Dr. Akansha Tewari combines your history with an eye-movement, positional and balance examination before deciding whether any test is likely to help.
Treatment and tests are recommended only after clinical assessment. The right plan depends on the individual patient.
VNG when it adds clarity
Eye-movement recordings are used when they can clarify the cause, document balance function or guide the next step.
An explained plan
You leave knowing what the findings may mean, what to do next and which warning signs should not wait.

Richa TiwariGoogle review
My mother was suffering from severe episode of vertigo for two days. She wasn’t able to sit up straight, walk or even open her eyes for few seconds. I found Dr Akanksha Tewari through Google search and consulted with her immediately. She quickly diagnosed and performed required procedures, and was kind to explain everything on call as well as in person. My mother got well within the first 7 hrs of consultation and medication. Thank you so much Dr Akanksha. Much recommended!

Our testing policy
Tests are recommended only when they can help
If a test is unlikely to change your treatment, it may not be necessary. When VNG is appropriate—for example in unexplained recurrent vertigo, suspected vestibular weakness or when objective documentation matters—the findings are interpreted in the context of your examination.

Conditions assessed
Different causes need different treatment
Positional vertigo (BPPV)
Spinning triggered by turning in bed, looking up or bending can often be diagnosed with positional testing and treated with a repositioning manoeuvre.
Severe, longer-lasting vertigo
Vestibular neuritis can cause a prolonged attack. Early assessment helps plan symptom relief and balance recovery.
Ménière’s disease
Episodes accompanied by ear pressure, ringing or fluctuating hearing may need ongoing medical and hearing assessment.
Migraine-related dizziness
Vestibular migraine can cause vertigo or motion sensitivity even without a typical migraine headache, and balance tests may be normal.
Long-lasting unsteadiness (PPPD)
Ongoing rocking, swaying or visual-motion sensitivity after an initial event is a recognised condition and can be treated.
Medicines, blood pressure and other causes
Not every dizzy spell starts in the ear. Recognising when another medical or neurological assessment is needed is part of the consultation.

Straight answers
Questions patients ask
Does every vertigo patient need a VNG test?
No. BPPV is commonly diagnosed using a bedside positional test. VNG is considered when it can clarify the cause, document vestibular function or guide treatment.
Can BPPV be treated in one sitting?
Many patients improve after one correctly targeted repositioning manoeuvre, while some need repeat sessions. BPPV can recur.
I have taken chakkar tablets for weeks. Should they be reviewed?
Yes. Some vestibular suppressants are helpful for short-term severe symptoms but may not be appropriate for prolonged use. Do not stop prescribed medicine on your own; bring it for review.
I already have VNG or other reports. Should I bring them?
Yes. Bring previous reports, scans and prescriptions. Adequate tests do not need to be repeated without a clinical reason.
How do I book a consultation?
WhatsApp is the quickest way to request an appointment. You can also call +91 83828 11224.
Seek urgent care
Some dizziness is an emergency
Go to an emergency department immediately if vertigo occurs with:
- Sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg
- Slurred speech, difficulty swallowing or double vision
- Inability to stand or walk even with support
- A sudden severe headache unlike any before
- Sudden hearing loss in one ear
These symptoms can signal a stroke or another urgent neurological or ear condition. Do not wait for a clinic appointment.
