  • HINTS Exam for Vertigo Explained - Head Impulse, Nystagmus, Test of Skew - Clinical Skills - Dr Gill
    TO BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR - THE HINTS EXAMINATION IS ONLY OF USE IN PATIENTS WITH PROLONGED VERTIGO/NYSTAGMUS/DISEQUILIBRIUM/PRE-SYNCOPE LASTING HOURS TO DAYS
    The HINTS test is a time-sensitive examination allowing the clinician to determine whether a patient has a central or peripheral lesion as the cause of their vertigo/dizziness complaint
    To boil that down further the HINTS test allows you to quickly determine if vertigo is due to a central (ie possible stroke) or a peripheral lesion
    In this video we will go through each part of the HINTS exam:
    - Head Impulse,
    - Nystagmus,
    - Test of Skew
    Along with a discussion of the findings

      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.

    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?

    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 🤷‍♀️

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.

    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.

    • @DrJamesGill
      @DrJamesGill  2 роки тому +5

      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

      @@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.
