Suffering from vertigo is a condition in which a person experiences dizziness, lightheadedness, and a sensation of spinning. The term for this condition is 'WOOZY, ' which is a five-letter word that can be used to describe the feeling of being unsteady or off balance. Vertigo is usually caused by an inner ear infection or a problem with the brain or nervous system. It can also be caused by certain medications, head injuries, or even stress. Treatment for vertigo typically includes medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes.
