What is Vertigo?

Vertigo is a specific kind of dizziness and in this condition you may feel like you or your surroundings are spinning or moving when there’s no motion in reality. It is not a disease itself but a symptom of various underlying conditions, most commonly related to the inner ear or brain and Vertigo can be classified in two parts that is:

• Peripheral Vertigo, caused by inner ear problems such as BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), Meniere’s Disease, or Vestibular Neuritis.
• Central Vertigo, which stems from issues in the brain or nervous system, such as migraines, stroke, or tumors.

At the dedicated Vertigo Lab at Mayom Hospital, patients receive accurate diagnosis and customized treatment to help them regain balance and normalcy in their daily lives.
