I'm terribly sorry to say that doc, but you should work with better patients, may i suggest one fine lady called Abbie Tutt, born on 7th of December 1996?
I really have no business watching these. I’m a property insurance agent who has literally no exposure to the medical field except yearly checkups, but I LOVE watching your videos. They’re surprisingly soothing, and they help me relax and fall asleep. And on the occasion that I do stay awake throughout the whole thing, I always learn something new, which is really cool. So thank you for the content! I’m looking forward to your next video!!
I wish mine would vertigo! I was in the Navy for years and NEVER got seasick. Loved it. Finished the Navy, and a year later had my first experience with vertigo, which was extremely confusing because I had no clue what the heck was going on.
I had vertigo a few weeks after having COVID-19 and have spoken to several people with similar symptoms. It was terrifying at the time, and I thought I'd had a stroke :( My amazing GP did a phone consultation as it was during a lockdown. Thank you NHS ❤ And thank you Dr Gill for explaining things so well.
Vertigo is truly one of the most unpleasant, often “not serious” issues I think there is. Much more so than pain - which can often not have an apparent cause I had vertigo - only briefly thankfully - it really feels like your body is betraying you
Hey Dr Gill, I'm a Menieres patient, also living with diabetes. My first symptoms of Menieres began in a hotel room. During the day I felt mild vertigo which became more severe by late night. I was very seasick (in a 10 story building on solid ground) and experienced everything that occurs with severe seasickness 🤢 No doctor ever suspected Menieres until 4 years later. By that time the hearing loss on my right side was very noticeable, but the vertigo was gone. Two years after that, I experienced a very rapid onset of vertigo while I was driving. Luckily I managed to not crash. Two weeks after that episode, my gp did a full blood work up and discovered my glucose levels were 380 mg/dl. The next day at the follow up, a finger stick showed my glucose was 476. So likely that severe, rapid onset of vertigo was due to very high blood glucose, and not a return of the Menieres symptoms. (My hbA1c was 14%) Now I keep my glucose under control, A1c between 6.8 and 7.4 usually. The vertigo has never returned. But from the Menieres, my hearing loss is permanent on the right side and I must live with that constant ringing noise. The hearing on my left side is normal.
This is a useful, if horrible example of why diabetes is so serious. I’m sorry you’ve been though this, although I’m glad you’ve not had further issues with the vertigo
I burst awake with vertigo in May 2020, thinking I was having a stroke. They told me I had BPPV, but it has never gone away completely and I have to use a cane most days due to spinning and pain in my head and ear. Some days are good but the pain never goes away and the dizziness is mild but not gone. I am glad there are tests like this to help people figure things out. It's so scary to live with. Almost crippling. Thank you for posting these :)
@@DrJamesGill I did from my doc in the hospital, but 8 months later they said they were too busy and couldn't see me. My family doctor has been great and advocated for me to a new ENT and the waiting period is another 8-9 months, which is in March, so here is hoping :)
Amazing explanation, thank you for explaining hints exam, I am studying vertigo examination for my weekly exam in ENT and I believe it is going to be pretty helpful for not just now but for my next years in medical field.
@@DrJamesGill I'm going to Warwick medical school and I want to to be just as a good doctor as you are I'm actually 16 but I'm practicing now so I can get better
I get vertigo and nystagmus as part of migraine prodrome and it's a very good prompt to go have a lie down... But as you've said elsewhere, one of the worst non-pain symptoms.
@@DrJamesGill that would be really helpful for us spinners, especially to understand how the heck you wake up with it and if there are triggers I'm completely unaware of. Such random unpredictable occurrences but when it hits ... boy oh boy i feel like the titanic in a vortex.
I had labyrinthitis in 2020 after I caught COVID, it went on for about a year (six month of intense motion sickness) followed by lesser bouts. I still get it two years later but very minor! to those recovering it does get better !
Dr! When first out break of Covid hit i had to find something. I found you! For this i thank you. You have been and truthfully are being a saving grace.
Omg! I have Menieres! It’s cool to learn about all these tests for it. The tests they had me do were super different, and more similar to inebriation balance tests! They did take lots of videos of my eyes before and after different activities though lol
Thanks for the info. I have suffered with this since a young child, I would wake up during the night/early hours where I would be so dizzy everything would spin and walking was impossible as I would stumble and fall side to side. If I opened my eyes I would projectile vomit everywhere. It would sometimes lead into a migraine. I had to be left in complete darkness for 2-3 days until it passed and prey I didn’t need to use the toilet. My mum would take me back and forth to our GP but nothing made it better. As an adult I still get this except the migraines are less common and lying flat or moving a certain way can trigger it, symptoms are less intense though I do get pins and needles down one side of my leg when it does happen. Don’t know why 🤷♀️
I also get it randomly when waking up. Absolutely awful. Sometimes when I'm sat in a chair it manifests like i'm falling off the chair sideways and sometimes when i go to bed it kicks up and feels like I've been drinking heavily for days as the headspin is so intense and so painful (I don't drink). absolutely horrific and a lot of people think vertigo is all about heights. Nope! GP just gave me travel sick pills, not so great but also I don't know yet what triggers it, especially when you wake up with it! Weird huh?! I don't get migraines though thankfully.
I have a question concerning Boolean logic - if a patient has only prolonged vertigo but no nystagmus (as opposed to both), is the HINTS exam still indicated? Is nystagmus an essential accompaniment to the vertigo? Thanks for any clarification you can offer!
This video is nothing short of exceptional. I don’t think I’ve seen another video that detailed why the hints shouldn’t be performed in certain patient groups. Have you sorted your Audio now? I did see a video where you had a lav mic on but still seemed to have a large amount of hiss . Check out the zoom f2 recorder.
Are there circumstances in which it would be appropriate to administer stroke treatment --- due to time pressures --- before you've completed the assessment? Appreciate the willingness of your student to allow you to put him through that -- not all professors inspire that level of trust.
Audio is so tough to get right! Extra recorders and extra mics can be really helpful if you're doing something complicated and you don't want to have to do it again!
James , where would you go at a point where you experience quite literally every symptom explained in this video (beside an obvious stroke) my mother , age 51 , has been experiencing everything talked about in this video virtually her entire life now. Been to so many clinics to try and identify what the problem is , but to this day there is still no answer , she experiences severe nausea, sickness , vertigo very very often , caused by looking up for more than a few seconds , moving her heard too fast , sleeping on the opposite side , hearing impediment as well , also tinnitus and some occasional nystagma
First port of call would be GP with view to ENT clinic - but it is likely there would need to be a further referral to subspecialist clinic from there too
Very interesting and explanation of utmost precision. Thank you. Do you have any video on allergies and their effects? I have a friend who keeps sneezing and she has always been given paracetamol and Piriton. It has been 3 years now since she has this symptom and took the risk of consuming allercet without prescription. Could you please help. Thank you.
The commonest cause of vertigo is BPPV - so issues with the otoliths in the ear. This is treated with a series of movements called Epleys. It is likely that they had you do this
Hi Dr Gill, I love watching your videos even though I’m going down a different medical field branch (I’m currently in my undergrad in a Pre-occupational therapy concentration) and I noticed a lot of this exam requires looking directly into the examiner’s eyes. I was just wondering what you might do if you were working with someone on the spectrum as I’ve heard sometimes someone who is on the spectrum finds it almost physically painful to look people in the eyes. What sort of alternatives might there be?
You explain the need and what you are looking for As you say, looking into someone’s eyes can be very uncomfortable. There are MANY tests - blood taking as just a simple example - that are uncomfortable, but as long as people understand the need, are happy to undertake It’s all about communication
Hi Dr Gill, This was a very informative video and I thoroughly enjoyed watching! Just in case you hadn’t noticed, you mistakenly mentioned vestibular neuritis being irritation of CNVII at the beginning of the video (2:43) 😅 nonetheless, this video has informed my clinical practice, so thank you!

Hello Dr. I wanted to ask u if u can do video regarding lymph nodes. I have a lymph node in right side of my throat close to my thyroid. It started all off after I had covid last year in July 2021. Since then my lump is still there and trouble swallowing. I been for ultrasound in hospital they said is nothing to worry about and should clear off within couple weeks but it's been months now and nothing improved. What could it be? Does it need to be removed or is there anything that can be done about it?
When I have vertigo flare up, if someone sat me upright and spun me in a chair, I would project vomit like poltergeist. Never had a doctor put me through this. This would be torture for someone in that condition. Not sure where you learned this doctor.
Let me be very clear - as highlighted in the video - putting Atharvar in the chair is NOT part of the clinical examination, that was to spin the fluid in his middle ear, and generate the movement of his eye, as an example of what can be seen in a vestibular issue There would be no indication for this in clinic practice
I have suffered from vertigo since 2014 and have had utterly terrifying experiences with it including a vestibular migraine related one. Would have loved a video like this.
@@DrJamesGill I had the neurology team come round and try figure me out while an inpatient. They never really figured it out, I did. It was a few things like bad eye strain, new glasses required and migraine, all combined with little sleep. I still get it if I'm not careful. I have stemetil but I developed a phobia of not getting enough sleep and getting the vertigo, which as you can imagine is not conducive to a normal life.
Hello Dr.Gills, I get motion sickness like symptoms sometimes even when I am not travelling, at first there was ringing in my right ear too and then dizziness and pain in back of head with nausea. What could be the cause and is there any solution to my condition?

To be fair, I know what you mean - I think my voices changes during the examination as my brain is doing a lot of work here. During a history, I tend to project more, and people have mentioned they can hear me outside of patients cubicles 😳
@@DrJamesGill I'm currently on Serc(betahistine) tablet. It's has helped a lot still dizzy a little but mostly better except some flare ups Have tried Stematil and head exercises but no help. I also have small hearing loss and tinnitus
American doctors do none of the myriad of tests you have shown us on your channel. They look at you, as a few questions, tell you you're lying and then charge you 500 bucks.
I’d hope that there is more going on, it may just be that they are using additional information sources From my point of view, I take a lot of pride with our students, knowing they are able to work clinically without having to rely on imaging etc - it’s vitally important yes, but good clinical skills will always improve patient care

Oh dear, what treatment have you had?
@@DrJamesGill I'm currently on Serc(betahistine) tablet. It's has helped a lot still dizzy a little but mostly better except some flare ups
Have tried Stematil and head exercises but no help. I also have small hearing loss and tinnitus

Hahah the labyrinth reference 😂
I managed to get monty python into lectures this week!
2:50, I wasn't ready.
It’s only a flash 😊
@@DrJamesGill Shoot, I thought it was only forever, which incidentally is not long at all.
I like your plant
Jareth popping up properly made me laugh 😂👏🏻
I’m really pleased that several people have got the joke 😊
I’m blind and get extreme vertigo.
Oh dear. I’m so sorry to hear that. When you do get an attach, how to you terminate it?
I miss the days when these videos were more examination and less discussion
I suffered from Vertigo. Then I changed the radio station. (Flicks Vs) Take that, Bono!

Vertigo and panic attacks.
Vestibular neuritis is not inflammation of cranial nerve 7! It is cranial nerve 8! Get your facts right!
You remind me of the babe, what babe, babe with the power, what power, power of voodoo, who do, you do, remind me of the babe ...

Lost patience , just wanted the facts with no drivelling.
Which particular bits do you mean.
If you need a jump to HOW to do the exam, that is at 11mins
Then I would suggest Google.

I thought it was Han Solo 😅😅
Missing Abby already. ☹️
Why do I wish I was this young man!?! lol l
Nystagmus predicted this, you know

American doctors do none of the myriad of tests you have shown us on your channel. They look at you, as a few questions, tell you you're lying and then charge you 500 bucks.
I’d hope that there is more going on, it may just be that they are using additional information sources
From my point of view, I take a lot of pride with our students, knowing they are able to work clinically without having to rely on imaging etc
- it’s vitally important yes, but good clinical skills will always improve patient care
Pretty sure the patient is freshly shaven John Oates.
Why are you whispering?
You remind me of the babe..
👍
