About 40% of U.S. adults experience vertigo, which can result from inner ear issues, migraines, or infections, according to experts from UCI Health, Medical Offices of Manhattan, and Kindred Health Care.
Common symptoms include nausea, hearing loss, and balance problems. Treatments vary by cause, such as the Epley maneuver for BPPV, vestibular rehab, medications, and lifestyle changes for vestibular migraine.
Doctors advise seeking medical attention if vertigo is accompanied by serious symptoms like hearing or vision loss, as it can signal underlying conditions and increase risks of falls or decreased quality of life.
