What are the signs and symptoms that come with vertigo?
You may feel that you or everything around you is moving or spinning. You may also feel like you are being pulled downwards toward the floor or toward your side. Symptoms may occur after changing positions, such as turning over in bed or moving your head or neck. You may have nausea (upset stomach) or vomiting (throwing up). You may also have trouble with your balance, which may cause you to fall down. Other signs and symptoms may also be present and may help point to the disease or condition that is causing your vertigo. These signs and symptoms may include the following: • Being highly sensitive to light or sound. • Body weakness, slurred speech, problems seeing, increased sleepiness, or problems while moving. • Facial weakness and headache. • Hearing loss, ear fullness or pain, or hearing ringing sounds. • Nystagmus (abnormal fast movement of the eyes). You may not feel or know this movement is happening.
