Vertigo is a sensation of dizziness or spinning, often described as feeling like you or your surroundings are moving or tilting. It is not a condition in itself but rather a symptom of an underlying health issue, usually related to the inner ear or the brain. Vertigo can be caused by various factors, including:
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
Meniere’s disease
Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis
Migraines
Head injuries or trauma
Brain disorders, such as stroke or tumor
Vertigo may be accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, imbalance, or difficulty focusing. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve medications, physical therapy, or lifestyle modifications.
