A summary:
Vertigo usually results from a problem with the nerves and the structures of the balance mechanism in your inner ear.
Causes:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Often occurs when getting out of bed in the morning (changing positions). Doctors aren't sure what causes BPPV, but may be a normal part of aging.
- Inflammation of inner ear ("vestibular neuronitis"). Generally subsides and clears up on its own
- Meniere's disease. Excess fluid build-up in ear. Cause is unknown.
- Migraine-related vertigo.
- Other causes are also listed
What are your symptoms? How long have you been having them? How old are you, and do you have any other medical conditions or medication that you are taking?
