Vertigo is the spinning sensation you feel when your body's balance system isn't working properly. It's different from simple dizziness—with vertigo, the room feels like it's moving around you, even when you're standing still. This happens because your inner ear, brain, or the nerves connecting them send mixed signals about your position and movement. Vertigo can range from mildly uncomfortable to severe enough to make standing or walking difficult.

These articles explain what causes vertigo, how doctors figure out what's happening, and what treatment options exist. You'll learn about common conditions that trigger vertigo, what to expect during an examination, and steps you can take to manage symptoms while you recover.
