A cure for vertigo

What is Vertigo?Vertigo is a feeling that you or your surroundings are moving although there is no actual movement. Dizziness and vertigo is not the same thing, although vertigo is a severe form of dizziness.

There are four types of dizziness: vertigo, lightheadedness, presyncope and disequilibrium. Vertigo is an illusion that you or environment around you are spinning, tilting, rocking or falling through space. It is usually caused by a problem with the balance mechanism within the inner ear. Vertigo is often associated with tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and hearing loss. Person experiencing vertigo may vomit or his eyes may uncontrollably move back and forth (nystagmus).
