What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a type of dizziness characterized by the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning. Many people relate the term Vertigo to the fear of heights, which is not correct. You may experience vertigo when looking down from great heights, but that is not the same as Acrophobia. Vertigo is just a temporary spell of dizziness as a result of an underlying problem.
