Vertigo: Greetings, vertigo by definition is a "spinning/motion" like sensation that is usually accompanied with nausea maybe even vomiting. Usually the origins is in the ear. Some forms of vertigo can come from intracranial problems -cancer fortunately only be a small percentage. More likely causes are "misplaced crystals" within the inner ear, meniere's, viral or even migraine linked. See your ENT doc.
