Vertigo is a
sensation of spinning. If you have these dizzy spells, you might feel like you
are spinning or that the world around you is spinning.
Causes of Vertigo
Vertigo is often caused
by an inner ear problem. Some of the most common causes include:
BPPV. These initials stand for
benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. BPPV occurs when tiny calcium particles
(canaliths) clump up in canals of the inner ear. The inner ear sends signals to
the brain about head and body movements relative to gravity. It helps
you keep your balance.
