Comman causes of Vertigo

Vertigo, the sensation of spinning or dizziness, can be caused by various conditions. Here are some common causes:

1. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Small calcium particles clump up in the inner ear canals, causing brief episodes of dizziness.
2. Meniere’s Disease: A disorder of the inner ear that can lead to vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. It’s associated with a buildup of fluid in the inner ear.
3. Vestibular Neuritis or Labyrinthitis: Inflammation of the inner ear or the nerves connecting the inner ear to the brain, often caused by viral infections.
4. Migraines: Some people experience vertigo as part of a migraine, known as vestibular migraine or migraine-associated vertigo.
5. Head or Neck Injury: Trauma to the head or neck can cause vertigo, especially if it affects the inner ear or the vestibular nerve.
6. Medications: Certain medications can cause side effects that include vertigo.
7. Acoustic Neuroma: A noncancerous growth on the vestibular nerve leading from the inner ear to the brain can cause vertigo.
8. Inner Ear Conditions: Various other inner ear problems can lead to vertigo, including infections and structural issues.
9. Stroke: Vertigo can be a symptom of a stroke, especially if accompanied by other neurological symptoms like weakness, difficulty speaking, or severe headache.
10. Multiple Sclerosis: This condition can affect the nerves responsible for balance, leading to vertigo.
11. Anxiety Disorders: Anxiety and panic attacks can sometimes cause sensations of dizziness or vertigo.
12. Dehydration and Low Blood Sugar: Lack of fluids or low blood sugar levels can lead to dizziness and vertigo.

If you are experiencing vertigo, it is important to consult a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
