| Category | Vertigo & Dizziness |
The word vertigo is derived from the Latin phrase verto, which means, “to revolve”. Vertigo is a false sense of motion, spinning, or feeling of imbalance. Sufferers often call it dizziness, imbalance, light-headedness, or “chakkar aana (vertigo meaning in Hindi)”.
Often the imbalance is associated with nausea, vomiting, or unsteadiness on walking. It may worsen when you move your head. Vertigo should not be mixed up with acrophobia, which is an extreme fear of heights.
Vertigo and dizziness are common complaints presented by patients to doctors of all specialties, and they affect all age groups.
Symptoms of Vertigo / Dizziness
Vertigo patients may also complain of nausea, difficulty in focusing on moving objects, headaches, change in hearing or ringing in the ears, and difficulty in concentration. Their symptoms can come and go and can range from a few seconds to minutes, hours, even days.
