However, people with vertigo would no doubt say that the feeling the actual condition produces can’t be duplicated. “Imagine that the world starts spinning and you’re trying to stay on your feet,” said Aaron DeBord, PT, DPT, Supervisor, Physical Rehabilitation Services at Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC). “It’s frightening for people.” Along with loss of balance, people with vertigo may also experience nausea and vomiting. Routine activities – getting out of bed, looking up at a high shelf, bending to pick up a box, or leaning back into a beauty salon sink – can trigger vertigo. Fortunately, vertigo episodes don’t last too long. What causes vertigo? Head trauma, an inner ear infection or Meniere’s disease – which creates an excessive buildup of fluid in the inner ear – all may lead to vertigo. The most common cause of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). pccnews 12/23/15 10:32 AM
