Vertigo Basics
Let’s first begin with the question: what is vertigo? Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 movie “Vertigo” is the first thing that comes to mind for many of us. It’s a film about a private investigator with acrophobia, a pathological fear of heights.
Patients will feel a “dizzying sensation” when the condition effects them. It can also feel like “tilting within stable surroundings” according to Dictionary.com. Vertigo causes vary greatly from person to person. They range from problems with the inner ear to food allergies.
