Top 10 Causes of Vertigo

Pregnancy

In pregnant women, changes in the hormonal levels would affect the fluid in the inner ear. This would lead to some issues, such as vertigo, hearing difficulties, tinnitus, instability, a loss of balance, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. That’s why dizziness and nausea are not uncommon during pregnancy. These symptoms tend to improve over time when the women are used to the new balance in their ear. However, changes in posture and body weight would worsen their balance issues. Some drug treatments are available to alleviate vertigo-related problems, dizziness, and nausea. Keep in mind to consult your healthcare provider before starting. [5]
