You who have been attacked by vertigo must have memorized the sensation. Your head feels very dizzy, as if the world is circling around you. As a result, you cannot work and move as usual. However, resting is also difficult because it feels really uncomfortable. This sensation can last for several minutes, hours, even days.
Vertigo itself is a condition that arises from various things. In some people, vertigo is caused by an infection of a virus or bacteria that attacks the inner ear causing inflammation. However, in other cases vertigo appears due to meniere disease, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), multiple sclerosis, tumors, strokes, and cerebral hemorrhage. In addition, vertigo can also be triggered by neck or head injuries, motion sickness, and drugs that have side effects on the ear and migraine headaches. However, these cases rarely occur. Usually vertigo will recover on its own after a while because the brain begins to adjust to changes that occur in your inner ear. In some cases, you may need professional treatment and care. The doctor will prescribe antibiotics and relieve nausea and dizziness drugs.
