About Vertigo

Vertigo is a condition in which a person has the sensation that they are moving, or that objects around them are moving, when that is not the case. Often it feels like a spinning or swaying movement. It may be associated with nausea, vomiting, perspiration, or difficulties walking. It is typically worse when the head is moved. Vertigo is the most common type of dizziness.
