Here, we will be looking at the causes, symptoms, treatments, and diets of vertigo.[1]

Causes of Vertigo

Looking down from a Height

Not everyone experiences something as strange as this, but there are some people out there who cannot look down from a great height. If they try such, they end up having a reeling sensation in which everything around would seem to be turning all round and round, making them lose balance, sick and with a headache. It is this reeling sensation that makes people acrophobic, that is, scared of height. People who suffer from vertigo due to height do not experience this sensation with just any height; they experience it with only great heights. If the great height is what triggers vertigo in you, then avoid looking down from a great height or totally avoid very high places. [2]
