Vertigo is one of the most common problems in adults. It refers to a sensation of dizziness or unsteadiness as a result of a disturbance in balance or equilibrium. The sensation of movement is called subjective vertigo and the perception of movement in the surrounding objects is called objective vertigo. True vertigo is a common type of dizziness. It is also possibly used to describe the feelings of lightheadedness, faintness, and unsteadiness. Vertigo maybe a problem of the inner ear or caused by a vision problem or by a problem in the brain. Other experts suspect  vertigo as a sign of underlying medical condition if accompanied by severe headache, impaired vision, loss of hearing, speech difficulties, leg or arm weakness, fainting or feeling faint, trouble walking, sensations of tingling or numbness, chest pain, and a racing or stagnating heart rate. Adult women are prevalent on this disease and even increases with age.
