A member asked:

My dad is 60yr old he is suffering from vertigo what are the reason, and reaction and treatment.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Number of things: Vertigo could be from something dangerous or something benign such as inner ear problem. Seeing your doctor is imperative! most patients fear a stroke or aneurysm, but i would also point out that an ear condition called meniere's disease could lead to deafness if not properly treated.
