Vertigo is a spinning sensation or dizziness, often caused by issues with the inner ear or vestibular system, which controls balance. It can result from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Ménière’s disease, or vestibular neuritis. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include vestibular rehabilitation therapy, medications (such as antihistamines or anti-nausea drugs), or maneuvers like the Epley maneuver for BPPV. In some cases, surgery may be considered if other treatments are ineffective.
