Vertigo is commonly caused by inner ear problems (peripheral vertigo) but can also be caused by neurological issues involving the brain (central vertigo). Should I be concerned about any other causers?

I had vertigo early April and past September. My mom had it bad . I usually can’t see and the room is upside down. It’s bad. Past few times I went to an Occupational Therapist who did the Elpy maneuver and it takes about two or three days to feel better.

I have heard of many of us who have experience Vertigo.

I myself had vertigo from one of my past medications

It depends on how often and how long each episode of vertigo is a condition linked to the inner ear which relies on the Temporal lobe to work. It can be multiple things like a fluid imbalance within the middle ear so a ear issue completely unrelated to meds or a med side effect but if it if a med side affects you normally just get the vertigo and won't really notice and ear issue.

Are you getting Vertigo at the moment?
