Dr. Mark Loury answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Depends on duration: Spinning is one sensation of vertigo. Migraine especially if there is headache, méničre's disease although this usually has other symptoms such as ear fullness, hearing loss, and tinnitus, or vestibular neuritis if the vertigo, lasts days to weeks.

Dr Buffington and another doctor agreed
