📋Overview
Vertigo is a symptom characterized by the sensation of spinning or movement, often described as dizziness. It is not a disease itself but a manifestation of underlying conditions affecting the vestibular system, which includes the inner ear and brain areas responsible for balance. Vertigo can be caused by peripheral vestibular disorders or central nervous system issues.
