Vertigo & Dizziness

Vertigo is a feeling that you are spinning or that the room is spinning around you. The most common form of vertigo is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Some of the symptoms of BPPV are dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, blurred vision and vomiting. This kind is rarely serious and can be treated. Vertigo can also be a sign of inflammation in the inner ear, which is called labyrinthitis (lab-rynth-I-tis). You might also have Mnire's disease, which consists of episode of vertigo and ringing in the ears. Vertigo can also be a sign of something more serious, so see your doctor to rule out anything serious.
