Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo People with vertigo have the sensation that they or their surroundings are spinning or tilting, which produces unsteadiness and sometimes nausea and vomiting. The symptoms are often worsened by sudden head movements.
Vertigo can be brought on simply by spinning around or drinking too much alcohol.
In some people, it is triggered by heights, and it may occur as a side effect of certain medications. Vertigo may also be a symptom of an inner ear disorder, such as infection, Ménière’s disease , or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, in which tiny crystals that are normally embedded in gel in the inner ear become dislodged, disrupting the balance system.
Other possible causes include migraine, stroke, a brain tumor or an acoustic neuroma, or multiple sclerosis . Symptoms may be alleviated by drugs to relieve nausea and vomiting.
Other treatment for vertigo depends on the underlying cause.
