Vertigo
Vertigo is actually a sense of spinning or rotation that is felt while you are standing still. You could call it an illusion of movement. People having vertigo not only feel that they are spinning but also feel that their surroundings are moving around them.
Vertigo cannot be defined as fear of heights. However, there is a specific type of vertigo which is triggered by heights. The sensation of spinning worsens when the neck is moved suddenly or when any other movements involving the head is executed. People with vertigo may actually find it difficult to balance themselves while walking or when they stand up suddenly after resting for a long time. They also may find it difficult to focus their eyes on an object or experience ringing in their ears. These symptoms may last for a few minutes or may persist for longer. Are you feeling faint often? here are 10 reasons not to neglect it!
