Dizziness is an umbrella term that generally describes a feeling of lightheadedness or being off-balance. It can include feelings of faintness, wooziness, and unsteadiness. Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness where there is a perception of spinning or moving.
What is Vertigo?
Dizziness involving the inner ear is typically described as vertigo. This involves a sensation of abnormal movement, spinning, and imbalance. There are many causes of vertigo including an infection leading to inflammation of the inner ear or balance nerve. Meniere’s disease involves the overproduction of fluid in the inner ear and results in intermittent episodes of ear fullness, vertigo, roaring tinnitus, and hearing loss. Small stones that get dislodged within the inner ear and enter improper locations, or even certain types of tumors may also cause vertigo. Head trauma, stroke, migraines, and neurological disorders may also present with vertigo.
