Causes of Vertigo

• Inner Ear Disorders: Conditions such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease, and vestibular neuritis can affect the inner ear's balance mechanisms.
• Migraines: Some individuals may experience vertigo as a symptom of migraines, often accompanied by headaches and sensitivity to light and sound.
• Inflammation: Inflammation of the inner ear, known as labyrinthitis, can lead to vertigo. This inflammation may result from infections or viral illnesses.
• Medications: Certain medications may cause dizziness or imbalance, contributing to vertigo.
• Head Injuries: Trauma to the head, such as concussions or other injuries, can disrupt the inner ear's delicate balance system.
• Anxiety and Stress: Emotional factors like anxiety and stress can manifest physically, leading to symptoms of vertigo.
