Vertigo is the sensation that you’re in motion when you’re really not, or that your surroundings are moving around you. It is most commonly caused by a problem in the inner ear or the vestibular nerve, which connects the inner ear to the brain, or by a problem in the brain itself. Vertigo treatment depends on the underlying cause.
