What is Vertigo?

Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness in which a person feels a false sensation of spinning or motion, either of themselves or their surroundings, even while completely still. It typically arises from a disturbance in the inner ear's vestibular system or in the brain pathways that process balance signals. The sensation can range from a brief, mild spinning feeling to a severe, incapacitating episode accompanied by nausea and loss of balance. It is a symptom rather than a disease in itself, and can be triggered by head movement, certain positions, or occur spontaneously.
