What are the Causes and Risk Factors for Vertigo?

By Julie Marks

Vertigo is a symptom of another underlying medical issue. Many different conditions are linked to vertigo.

Generally, vertigo is caused either by problems in the inner ear, known as peripheral vertigo, or problems in the brain or nervous system, known as central vertigo. Certain risk factors and other medical issues can also lead to episodes of vertigo.

Finding what’s causing your dizziness is important because it will determine your treatment options.

I had vertigo temporarily when a loud concert blew out my hearing.  Not fun at all.  Couldn't leave the house for fear I'd get dizzy someplace and fall over.  All better now. 

And no more concerts.
