Quick answer
Dr. Jitendra Prasad Yadav (NMC 8029) — vertigo specialist at Kathmandu Neurology Clinic & Cognitive Center, Durbar Marg, Opposite of Yak & Yeti Hotel. Evaluates BPPV, vestibular migraine, neuritis and central vertigo via history and positional testing. 15+ years, NAMS.
Many vertigo causes overlap ear and brain. Neurology distinguishes central from peripheral and coordinates ENT/neuro-otology when inner-ear cause is primary.
Vertigo red flags — emergency
Dr. Jitendra Prasad Yadav (NMC NMC 8029) — Consultant Neurologist, 15+ years at National Trauma Center (NAMS). Evaluates BPPV, vestibular migraine, vestibular neuritis and central vertigo with positional testing and neurological assessment at Kathmandu Neurology Clinic & Cognitive Center, Durbar Marg, Opposite of Yak & Yeti Hotel.
Brief positional spinning (seconds, on rolling over) suggests BPPV (ear). Recurrent vertigo with migraine features suggests vestibular migraine (brain). Persistent imbalance with speech/double vision suggests central cause — urgent. Dr. Jitendra Prasad Yadav sorts mechanism through targeted history and exam.
Evaluation is history-driven: spell duration, triggers, hearing symptoms, migraine history, then positional maneuvers and neurological exam. MRI only if central features or atypical pattern — not for every dizzy spell.
Vertigo with slurred speech, double vision, weakness, numbness or inability to walk suggests central/brain cause — seek emergency care immediately. Isolated brief positional vertigo is usually not emergency but warrants evaluation.
