Vertigo is a problem within your ear that leads to dizziness, nausea, the feeling of being unsteady, headaches, blurred vision and high perspiration. The sufferer will feel like they are moving when they are not and this can make them feel very ill and also concerned about what is going on around them. It feels like a much more severe version of when you are drunk and the world around you seems to be 'spinning'.
The illness can be caused by quite a few health issues. Some of the health issues that can contribute to vertigo are migraines, multiple sclerosis, severe motion sickness, Ménière's disease (hearing loss) and vestibular neuritis, which is a severe ear infection.
Once diagnosed, it can be treated by antihistamines or by Epley Manoeuvre. This manoeuvre is done by a doctor or physical therapist and involves moving the sufferer in the way of therapy to clear the ears so they it does not impair the brain.
Approximately 5 per cent to 10 per cent percent of the population suffer from vertigo at some point in their life.

Most people find that they go away within a few weeks but it is know that the symptoms can return if a person has not fully recovered and are under stress or become run down during their recovery period. You will need to seek medical advice again and then take the treatment to some advice is to keep yourself healthy and away from stress while you are recovering and in the period after your treatment.
