Vertigo\u003cbr\u003eThis is a spinning sensation or feeling that your surrounding is moving around you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNystagmus, a jerky movement in the eye, is a common sign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVertigo often indicates an inner ear problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eViruses, such as those causing the common \"cold\" or \"flu,\" can also attack the inner ear and its nerve connections to the brain, resulting in severe vertigo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a more serious case, a bacterial infection such as mastoiditis can make a person lose his hearing and sense of balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsufficient blood flow to the inner ear can also lead to vertigo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is often caused by poor circulation due to the hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis) which is commonly seen in patients with diabetes, high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2. Light-headedness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most typical form of light-headedness occurs when you stand up too fast for the blood to reach your brain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis form of light-headedness is often transient and harmless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore persistent forms of light-headedness can be caused by:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea.

Motion sickness or sea-sickness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople with this condition may experience nausea and even vomiting when traveling in cars, airplanes, boats, or ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough it may incapacitate some people, more often than not, the symptoms are temporary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotion sickness occurs when the central nervous system receives conflicting messages from four different systems of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey are the inner ears, the eyes, pressure receptors in our skin and sensory receptors in the muscles and joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the complex interaction of these four systems that gives us our sense of balance and equilibrium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor instance, the inner ears, specifically the three semicircular canals in each ear, detect motion in three dimensions, that is, forward-backward, up-down, and left-right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central nervous system (that is, the brain and spinal cord) receives all the information from the four systems to make some sense of the body's position in relation to the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThus, if you are sitting in the back seat of a moving car, your inner ears and skin receptors will detect the motion of your travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd if your eyes see the same motion, you will not become \"car sick\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut if you are reading in the car, your eyes see only the pages of your book, so your brain receives conflicting messages and you become \"car sick.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTABLE OF CONTENT\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Dizziness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Motion Sickness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Syncope (Fainting)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Labyrinthitis (Inflammation of Labyrinth)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Benign Positional Vertigo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Meniere’s Disease\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kenneth Kee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47109461213424,"sku":"2940044191785","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940044191785_p0.jpg?v=1769888181","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940044191785","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
