Understanding Vertigo
Understanding the concern Vertigo is the sensation of movement or spinning and can have inner-ear, neurologic, medication-related, and other causes that require appropriate screening. A symptom name is a useful starting point, not a diagnosis. Severity, duration, pattern, associated symptoms, health history, and examination findings help determine what should happen next.
