Vertigo is a disorienting sensation where an individual feels as if their surroundings are spinning or moving in circles. It often leads to dizziness, imbalance, and difficulty in coordination. While vertigo itself is not a disease, it is a symptom of various underlying medical conditions, particularly those affecting the inner ear or central nervous system.

Vertigo can affect individuals of any age but is more commonly seen in people over 65. It may occur temporarily or persist long-term. Pregnancy, ear infections, and inner ear disorders are frequent triggers. In some cases, vertigo may also be experienced when looking down from a height or due to neurological conditions.
