Specializes in Neurology

Positional vertigo: When dizzy spells occur that give the sense of swaying or motion, and when they are worse with moving, this is usually a sign of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. This is not caused by lack of sleep or fatigue but rather by changes within the inner ear.
