What Is Vertigo?

Vertigo is a sensation of movement when there is no actual movement. Patients may describe it as feeling that the room is spinning, feeling unsteady while walking, or sensing that they are being pulled to one side.

  • Feeling that the room is spinning
  • Feeling unsteady while walking
  • A sensation of being pulled to one side
  • Loss of balance or dizziness
  • Feeling like they are moving despite being stationary

Vertigo is not a disease itself but a symptom that can occur due to problems involving the inner ear, brain, nerves, or balance system.

What Causes Vertigo?

The balance system depends on coordination between the inner ear, eyes, brain, and nerves. Problems in any of these areas can lead to vertigo.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo and occurs when tiny calcium crystals inside the inner ear become displaced. It may cause:

  • Sudden spinning sensation
  • Vertigo triggered by head movements
  • Symptoms when turning in bed or looking upward
  • Short episodes lasting seconds to minutes

Inner Ear Disorders

Conditions affecting the inner ear may disturb balance signals and cause vertigo. Examples include:

  • Ménière's disease
  • Inner ear inflammation
  • Vestibular disorders

These may be associated with symptoms such as:

  • Hearing changes
  • Ear fullness
  • Ringing in the ear (tinnitus)

Vestibular Neuritis or Labyrinthitis

Inflammation affecting the balance nerve or inner ear can cause:

  • Sudden severe vertigo
  • Difficulty walking
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Balance disturbances

Other Possible Causes

Vertigo may also be related to:

  • Head injuries
  • Migraine-associated vertigo
  • Certain medications
  • Neurological conditions
  • Blood pressure-related issues

A detailed evaluation helps identify the exact cause.

Vertigo and Inner Ear Balance System

The inner ear contains a specialised balance system called the vestibular system, which helps the brain understand body position and movement.

When these signals become abnormal or mismatched, the brain may interpret them as movement, resulting in vertigo. Understanding the cause helps in selecting the right treatment approach.
