Symptoms of Vertigo

Dizziness

When you have vertigo, dizziness is one of those symptoms you suffer; in short, it is the major thing about vertigo. You suddenly develop this whirling or spinning sensation that makes you feel you are moving when in fact, you are not. This feeling renders you all unsteady and imbalanced, making you stagger while standing or walking. Dizziness also is accompanied by a feeling of lightheadedness, as if you want to faint or something. Usually, dizziness is one condition that does not call for much concern because it can go away on its own after a few moments, but the kind of dizziness that accompanies vertigo cannot be overlooked. [6]
