Vertigo<\/strong> is the sensation of motion, but you are not moving. It is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Vertigo is often a spinning type sensation. Associated nausea and vomiting are common.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Kaylie, D., D. Garrison, et al. (2012). “Evaluation of the patient with recurrent vertigo.” Archives of otolaryngology–head & neck surgery 138(6): 584-587.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You may notice a lightheadedness, spinning sensation, giddiness, wooziness or unsteadiness that occurs when quickly turning or changing positions, when bending over and returning to an upright position or when looking up or down. These symptoms last for a short time. You may notice a tendency to sway or veer from side to side when walking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Accurate diagnosis is very important. This requires a complete history and physical examination. Audiologic testing<\/a> is often needed. Other potential tests include CT scan<\/a>. MRI, ENG -vestibular testing and blood work. Dizziness treatment is then tailored to the specific problem.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nVertigo causes include:<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
