Vertigo is the medical term for dizziness or giddiness. The much popular misconception is that vertigo is a disease. But the reality is quite different. It’s a symptom which can be caused by a variety of diseases. Failures in the treatment of vertigo arise due to the fact that it’s often treated symptomatically before investigating the actual cause of it. Diagnosis of the underlying cause of vertigo is the key to the successful treatment of vertigo.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is a very common cause of Vertigo.
It is often triggered by specific changes in head position leading to mechanical problems due to displacement of calcium crystals in the inner ear. It's seldom serious, unless it leads to the increased risk of falling.
It is a very common cause of vertigo in people with a history of migraine related symptoms. It’s caused by some neurovascular changes in the inner ear in these persons.
What differentiates it from traditional migraines is that you may not always have a headache.Other symptoms include neck pain, discomfort while bending or looking up, etc.
It is the result of inflammation of your vestibular nerve, a nerve in the inner ear that provides information to your brain about balance.
When it is inflamed, the information doesn't make it, leading you to feel quite disoriented.
When your inner ear gets infected or inflamed, it can cause a type of balance disorder known as labyrinthitis. Sometimes you can get it when you have an upper respiratory infection, like the flu.
Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, and loss of hearing.
Usually it is caused by a virus, but it can also arise from bacterial infection, extreme stress, etc.

A brain stem stroke can also cause double vision, slurred speech and decreased level of consciousness.
It is a disease in which the immune system eats away the protective covering of nerves. It in turn causes communication issues between your brain and the rest of the body. Lesions in the brain stem and cerebellum can cause Vertigo.
