Vertigo Specialist Near Kannauj — Dr. Prateek Porwal, Hardoi

I see patients from Kannauj every week at my clinic in Hardoi. Kannauj is only 42 kilometres away — about a 50-minute drive — and for many patients, that is far closer than the alternative of travelling all the way to Lucknow.

If you or someone in your family is getting sudden dizziness, spinning sensations when rolling in bed, or feeling unsteady while walking, please do not ignore it. These are often signs of a treatable ear condition called BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) — and it can be fixed in one clinic visit.

Why Kannauj Patients Come to Prime ENT Center

Most patients from Kannauj tell me the same thing: they spent weeks going to local doctors, getting BP checked, taking medicines for “chakkar,” and nothing worked. That is because dizziness medicines don’t fix the root cause — they only suppress symptoms. The underlying problem needs a proper diagnosis.

At Prime ENT Center in Hardoi, we have the only VNG (Videonystagmography) and Stabilometry equipment in Central Uttar Pradesh. This machine tracks your eye movements precisely to identify which ear canal is affected and which maneuver will fix it. No other clinic within 150km has this technology.

What is Vertigo — and Why Does it Happen?

Vertigo is not the same as low blood pressure or weakness. It is a spinning sensation caused by a problem in the balance system of your inner ear. The most common cause — which I diagnose in at least 3–4 patients from Kannauj every month — is BPPV.

In BPPV, tiny calcium crystals in your inner ear slip into the wrong canal. When you turn your head, these crystals move and send a false “spinning” signal to your brain. The good news is this is completely reversible with the right repositioning technique.

Other common causes include:

• Vestibular neuritis — inflammation of the balance nerve, usually after a viral infection
• Meniere’s disease — pressure build-up in the inner ear, with hearing changes and ringing
• Vestibular migraine — migraine that causes vertigo without headache

The Bangalore Maneuver — Treatment Only Available in Hardoi

I developed the Bangalore Maneuver specifically for anterior canal BPPV — a variant that most ENT doctors in India do not recognise. Standard maneuvers do not work for this type. If you have been treated before and the vertigo keeps coming back, this could be why.

Most patients treated with the Bangalore Maneuver or standard Epley at our clinic feel relief within 24–48 hours. The Dix-Hallpike test takes about 2 minutes in the clinic and tells me exactly which canal is involved. From there, I choose the right maneuver for that patient.

When to See Me Urgently

Most vertigo is not dangerous. But come immediately if vertigo is accompanied by:

• Severe headache, especially sudden-onset
• Double vision or slurred speech
• Sudden hearing loss
• Weakness in face, arm, or leg

These can be signs of a stroke. The HINTS exam helps distinguish dangerous from benign vertigo — we perform this routinely.
