Vertigo Doctor in Lakhimpur | Dr. Prateek Porwal

Vertigo Specialist Lakhimpur patients can consult Dr. Prateek Porwal at Prime ENT Center in Hardoi for vertigo, chakkar, and balance disorders. Although Hardoi is around 90 km away, many Lakhimpur Kheri patients make the trip because they need specialist BPPV diagnosis and targeted treatment.

BPPV in Lakhimpur: the most-missed cause of vertigo

This page focuses specifically on vertigo evaluation for Lakhimpur patients. By far the most common diagnosis I see is BPPV — Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo — short episodes triggered by rolling in bed, looking up, or bending forward. BPPV is mechanical: tiny calcium crystals (otoconia) sit in the wrong canal of the inner ear and send false spinning signals to the brain.

There is no medicine that fixes BPPV. The fix is a precise repositioning maneuver — Epley, Semont, Gufoni, or for the rare anterior canal variant the Bangalore Maneuver I developed and published in peer-reviewed journals. Each canal needs a different maneuver, which is why diagnosis must come before treatment.

Lakhimpur Kheri sits on the terai border with Nepal — Awadhi is the dominant patient language. 95 km from Lakhimpur to Hardoi is about a 2.5 hours drive — close enough that most patients complete BPPV diagnosis and treatment in a single one-day visit.

What an online consultation gives you

An online consultation is for diagnosis, second opinion, and a clear plan. I take a careful history (the single most important step in vertigo), review any audiogram or MRI you already have, observe your eye movements during specific positions, and give you my honest opinion on the medicines and treatment you have been prescribed so far. What I cannot do over video is perform the maneuver itself, run VNG / fHIT / posturography testing, or do any procedure that needs hands on the patient.

When you must see someone in person locally in Lakhimpur

Online consultation works for most vertigo cases — but not all. Head to the nearest hospital in Lakhimpur the same day if any of the following is true:

• Sudden hearing loss in one ear, with or without vertigo — an ENT emergency. Steroids work if started within 24 to 48 hours; they do not work after two weeks.
• Vertigo with new severe headache, double vision, weakness, slurred speech, or difficulty walking — needs neurological evaluation and imaging the same day.
• Vertigo after a head injury — needs in-person assessment and imaging.
• Continuous vertigo for more than three days without let-up — could be vestibular neuritis, but other things need to be ruled out.

Q2. Can vertigo be treated online for Lakhimpur patients?

Yes, very effectively. Online consultation allows me to take a detailed history, assess your symptoms through video assessment, and guide you through diagnostic tests if needed. For most cases-including medication management, exercises, and lifestyle changes-online is completely sufficient. If you need hands-on maneuver treatment like the Epley or Bangalore Maneuver, I can guide you through it step by step over video, or we can arrange a local referral.

Q3. What is BPPV and how is it treated?

BPPV stands for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. It happens when tiny calcium carbonate crystals in your inner ear get dislodged from their normal position. These crystals move around in the fluid-filled canals of your ear, triggering dizziness and spinning sensations-especially when you move your head or change positions. I treat BPPV with specific maneuvers like the Epley or my specialized Bangalore Maneuver, which reposition these crystals back to their normal place. Most patients get relief within one or two sessions.

Q4. How long does vertigo treatment take?

It varies depending on what’s causing your vertigo. BPPV maneuver treatment takes 10-15 minutes, but the full consultation including examination and explanation takes 30-45 minutes. For other causes of vertigo, treatment might involve medications, exercises, or lifestyle modifications-these work over days or weeks. Some conditions improve within days, others take 2-3 weeks of consistent follow-up. I’ll give you a clear timeline during your consultation based on your specific diagnosis.

Q5. Is the Bangalore Maneuver safe to do at home?

The Bangalore Maneuver is completely safe when performed correctly. It’s a modified head positioning technique designed to move misplaced crystals back to their normal location. I provide detailed guidance on how to do it, including video demonstrations if needed. The key is understanding which canal is affected and exactly how to position your head. I always explain the technique thoroughly and make sure you’re confident before you try it at home. If you’re uncertain, we can arrange a guided session over video.

Q6. What tests are needed before online consultation?

Most online consultations don’t require advance testing-history and physical examination are often sufficient. However, if you have access to certain tests, they’re helpful: audiometry (hearing test) helps rule out Meniere’s disease, VNG (videonystagmography) provides objective eye movement data, or MRI/CT if you’ve had imaging done. You don’t need these tests to start-bring whatever records you have, and we’ll determine if additional testing is needed based on your symptoms and initial assessment.

Q7. What is the cost of online consultation?

The consultation fee is very affordable and reasonable for specialist care. I discuss pricing when you contact me via WhatsApp at 7393062200 or call directly. The cost depends on consultation complexity and whether any follow-up is needed. Prescription medications are inexpensive and available at any pharmacy. Maneuver-based treatment costs nothing extra-it’s part of the consultation. No hidden charges, I promise complete transparency about costs upfront.

Q8. Can vertigo come back after treatment?

BPPV can recur in about 15-30% of patients, even after successful treatment. But here’s the good news-if it comes back, it responds to treatment again with similar success rates. I teach patients preventive exercises and lifestyle modifications that significantly reduce recurrence risk. Many of my treated patients don’t experience recurrence for years or ever. If vertigo does return, contact me and we’ll schedule another treatment session-recurrence is not a treatment failure, it’s just a characteristic of BPPV in some people.
