Associated symptoms of vertigo include motor or sensory deficits, dysarthria (slurred speech) or ataxia. Causes include things such as migraines, multiple sclerosis or tumors. Less commonly, strokes, seizures, trauma or infections can cause also central vertigo.
Vertigo should not be confused with dizziness. Dizziness is an unpleasant feeling of light-headedness, giddiness or fuzziness often accompanied by nausea.
Vertigo is often incorrectly used to describe a fear of heights. This is due to a false etymology that associates "vertigo" with "vertical."
Vertigo is often experienced when breathing helium, as a result of decreased oxygen flow to the brain. Klinefelter's Syndrome people with this condition - have enhanced spatial thinking capabilities, so might be more susceptible to vertigo - research is ongoing.
