Vertigo and Spinal Disc Issues: Understanding the Connection

Vertigo causes dizziness and makes you feel like you’re spinning when you’re not. It most commonly occurs when there’s an issue with your inner ear. But you can also develop it if you have a condition affecting your brain, like a tumor or stroke. Treatments vary and can include medication, repositioning maneuvers or surgery.

Other symptoms you might experience when you have vertigo include:

• Nausea and vomiting.
• Dizziness.
• Balance issues.
• Hearing loss in one or both ears.
• Tinnitus (ringing in your ears).
• Headaches.
• Motion sickness.
• A feeling of fullness in your ear.
• Nystagmus (a condition that causes your eyes to move from side to side rapidly and uncontrollably).
