Vertigo is a sensation of spinning or whirling, where the person or their surroundings appear to be moving. It is caused by a dysfunction in the vestibular system, which is located in the inner ear and responsible for maintaining balance. Vertigo can be sudden or gradual in onset and may last for a few seconds or several hours. It can be accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and difficulty walking.
