Vertigo

The most common type of vertigo is called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and is appreciated by a feeling that your world is spinning or moving. It occurs with sudden head motions, usually rolling in bed or change in position. Other forms of vertigo can be associated with horizontal motions. The anatomy of the inner ear and the specific areas affected will impact the type of vertigo and associated head eye movements that can precipitate and cause the attack.
