The
medical condition called vertigo is dizziness that
creates the sense that you or your surroundings are
spinning or moving. It is defined as a false
illusion of motion with a distinct sensation of
rotation.
Vertigo can be acute or chronic.
Acute attacks are well-defined isolated spells of
vertigo with a distinct beginning and end. Chronic
vertigo is a continuous sensation. When acute
attacks recur, they are treated as chronic vertigo.
Doctors can diagnose 75% of vertigo cases
based on individual medical history, but you must
tell your physician the facts of your case, or the
case of the loved one you are helping. When did your
dizziness start, what you are feeling and does the
spinning sensations come and go or does it persist?
Describe what medications you are taking, any stress
you are experiencing and any related symptoms that
affect you, including nausea, vomiting, tinnitus,
deafness or a feeling that your ear is "full."
Particularly in the elderly, dizziness can be
associated with other diseases and conditions.
A
variety of conditions can cause vertigo and can
affect your sense of balance. Seeing a doctor is
particularly important if your vertigo is
accompanied by other symptoms, including hearing
loss, neurological symptoms, severe headache,
inability to stand or walk, and any of the risk
factors for stroke, such as diabetes, heart disease,
and hypertension.
