What is vertigo?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
By Vikipedia: vertigo is a condition where a person has the sensation of movement or of surrounding objects moving when they are not. By WebMD: vertigo is a sensation of feeling off balance. If you have these dizzy spells, you might feel like you are spinning or that the world around you is spinning.

Vertigo, as contrasted with dizziness, is a sensation of intrinsic spinning or whirling of the body and/ or spinning of one's surroundings. Lightheadedness, faintness, spaciness, and unsteadiness would not fulfill the description of vertigo. The etiology of vertigo can vary from central causes, such as the brain, to peripheral causes such as the inner ear.
