Vertigo :
Vertigo is described as a sensation of feeling dizzy and off- balance. A person with vertigo feels like the environment around them is spinning, even when they are not moving. Vertigo is categorised into several types, namely, central and peripheral vertigo. The most common one is the peripheral type of vertigo and occurs mainly due to problems associated with the vestibular nerve and the inner ear. People with vertigo also present with other complaints, such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, a feeling of fullness in the ears, balance complaints, hearing loss in one or both ears, headaches, tinnitus, motion sickness and a condition where the eyes move from side to side, uncontrollably and rapidly. Vertigo occurs due to a wide range of medical conditions like stroke, diabetes, arrhythmia, head injuries, shingles in or near the ear, certain medications like antibiotics and cardiovascular drugs, prolonged bed rest, ear surgery, low blood pressure, perilymphatic fistula, otosclerosis, ataxia, brain diseases and syphilis.
