What Is Vertigo?
Vertigo is the sensation that a room or surrounding environment is spinning, even when you are standing still. This occurs when the vestibular system—the part of your inner ear responsible for balance and spatial orientation—is not functioning properly.
Common Causes of Vertigo
-
Meniere’s Disease – Inner ear pressure, hearing loss, and tinnitus are common symptoms. While anyone can be affected, people in their 40s and 50s are more susceptible.
-
Labyrinthitis – Irritation or swelling of the inner ear can cause hearing loss. Viral or bacterial infections, such as colds, flu, or allergies, can trigger this condition.
-
Vestibular Neuronitis – Inflammation of the vestibular nerve can send incorrect signals to the brain, causing dizziness, tinnitus, or hearing loss. Even a simple cold or flu can trigger this.
-
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) – The most common type of vertigo, BPPV causes sudden spinning sensations. It can be triggered by head or neck movements, falls, car accidents, or standing up too quickly.
