Vertigo is a sensation of spinning or whirling, making you feel off-balance. It's more intense than just feeling dizzy and can range from brief episodes to severe, long-lasting attacks. While often unsettling, many people find their vertigo improves without needing specific medical treatment. Most cases of vertigo are linked to problems within the inner ear, which plays a crucial role in balance. Conditions like Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), inner ear infections (labyrinthitis), or Ménière's disease are common culprits. Migraines and certain medications can also trigger vertigo. Management often involves self-care strategies to ease symptoms and reduce frequency, such as moving carefully and avoiding sudden head movements. For persistent or severe cases, a doctor may prescribe medication, recommend balance exercises, or refer you to a specialist to identify and treat the underlying cause.
