Vertigo is a symptom of a condition, not a disease. Vertigo can occur for a variety of reasons and last for varying lengths of time depending on the patient's condition. Vertigo can last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes and even a few hours to a few days. Vertigo usually lasts only a few seconds to minutes.

People frequently confuse dizziness and vertigo. Vertigo is a condition in which a person believes that his or her surroundings are moving when they are not, or when he or she believes that they are moving when they are standing still.

Vertigo attacks can range from mild to severe, and they can be accompanied by other symptoms. Other symptoms of vertigo include sweating, nausea, abnormal eye movement, hearing loss, loss of balance, and ringing in the ears.

Cases of vertigo –

Vertigo can affect anyone at any age, but it is most common in people over the age of 65. Females are more likely to be affected by this.

Types of vertigo –

• Vertigo may be caused by an inner ear problem.
• Pregnancy can also cause vertigo in some cases.
• Vertigo can also be caused by a brain infection, a brain tumor, a traumatic brain injury, or a stroke.

Vertigo can be frightening if it occurs frequently and lasts for an extended period. This can also be an indication of other serious diseases, so if you experience frequent vertigo, you should see a doctor.
