Vertigo is the sensation that your environment is moving when it’s not.


Vertigo: On the Move

Whoa! If it feels like the room’s moving when it’s not, it could be vertigo. Sometimes caused by inner ear inflammation or decreased blood flow to the brain, vertigo can last minutes, even hours. To distinguish vertigo from dizziness, there must be a feeling of motion; other symptoms may include nausea or vomiting, sweating, and unusual eye movements. Treating vertigo depends on the cause.
