It is an illusion of movement that is perceived as the environment around itself or as the rotation around itself.
“Dizziness” is used as a folk term.
When it comes to vertigo, all kinds of problems in maintaining the patient’s balance are understood. This situation can range from the severity that the patient cannot even open his eyes by putting him in bed, to a feeling of slipping only from time to time. It may even appear as just a blackout.
It is a symptom rather than a disease, it may be a stand-alone condition or it may reflect some diseases or problems of organs with certain additional complaints.

Diagnosis:
Ear examination and neurological examination were performed on the patient who applied to the physician with the complaint of dizziness, and whether the problem was in the ear or the brain. Trying to get an idea about it. Hearing test, balance test related to inner ear, Brain Electrode (EEG), Tomography or MRI examinations can be done.
Precautions:

•Do not starve for a long time
•Salt should be consumed less. Salt causes an increase in fluid in the inner ear and can trigger vertigo. •Plenty of water should be drunk. Drinks such as tea, coffee, alcohol should be avoided.
