When to seek medical advice

By Mayo Clinic staff

See your doctor if you experience any signs or symptoms of Meniere's disease. Because any one of these problems may be the result of other illnesses, it's important to get an accurate diagnosis as soon as possible.

Vertigo is an uncommon but possible sign of other disorders, such as stroke, brain tumor, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or diseases of your heart or blood vessels (cardiovascular disease). See your primary care doctor immediately if vertigo is accompanied by any of the following signs or symptoms:

  • Headache that is unusual or severe for you
  • Double vision or loss of vision
  • Speech impairment
  • Leg or arm weakness
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Falling or difficulty walking
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Chest pain
  • Rapid or slow heart rate
