Overview

Labyrinthitis

Labyrinthitis is inflammation of the inner ear structures responsible for balance and hearing, often causing dizziness and hearing disturbances.

Hypertension

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a chronic condition in which the force of blood against artery walls remains consistently elevated. Over time, uncontrolled hypertension can damage the heart, kidneys, brain, eyes, and blood vessels. Because it often develops without obvious symptoms, it is commonly called the silent killer.

Diagnosis

Labyrinthitis

Diagnosis is based on symptoms, hearing evaluation, balance testing, and medical history.

Hypertension

Diagnosis is made through repeated blood pressure measurements. Additional tests may include ECG, echocardiogram, kidney function tests, urine analysis, lipid profile, blood sugar testing, and eye examination to assess organ damage.

Prevention

Labyrinthitis

Preventing infections and obtaining prompt treatment for ear and respiratory illnesses may reduce risk.

Hypertension

Maintain healthy body weight, exercise regularly, avoid smoking, limit alcohol consumption, reduce salt intake, manage stress, sleep adequately, and undergo regular health checkups.

Risk Factors

Labyrinthitis

Recent respiratory infections, weakened immunity, and ear infections increase risk.

Hypertension

Major risk factors include age above 40 years, obesity, diabetes, family history of hypertension, high cholesterol, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet, chronic stress, and sedentary lifestyle.
