Vertigo Facts

Vertigo is a spinning, tilting, or swaying sensations around you when you’re standing still.
Vertigo is not a disease, it might be a symptom of another, more serious condition
Most common causes of vertigo are related to ears.
The vast majority of cases of vertigo are classified as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or BPPV, which can come on quickly and cause total disorientation, stumbling, and falling in a matter of moments.
BPPV occurs when microscopic crystals called otoconia in your inner ear — responsible for balance — become dislodged and float around in the inner ear
Physical therapy is often the most effective treatment for vertigo
