What is Vertigo
Vertigo is the sensation of feeling off balance
Some simple causes of vertigo include
- Dehydration
- Too much caffeine
- Inner ear disorder
- Swelling of the inner ear
- Positional vertigo (BPPV).
More complicated causes include medications that effect the inner ear, stroke, head injury, neck injury, brain tumor or migraine headaches.
If you are experiencing vertigo you may feel like your world is swaying, spinning, or tilting. In addition, you may also feel like you are being pulled in one direction, like your head is floating, dizziness, or a general feeling of being unbalanced. As a result, you may experience nausea, vomiting, headaches, cold sweats, ringing in the ears, ear fullness, or decreased hearing.
Symptoms typically come on with head movements, rolling over in bed, or going from sitting to standing. They can last from only a minute or two up to several hours. Severe vertigo can be life altering and prevent you from driving, working, or doing everyday tasks.
