The Three Main Manifestations Of Vertigo

By Sarah Greg


If you want to know how vertigo manifests in patients, we can name three specific ones. In this article, we will be naming what those three are and discuss them at length. All three symptoms we are going to discuss will have a lot to do with the balance of the patience who is experiencing vertigo. This in turn means that (at least for as long as the episode of the condition is going on), the patient's ability to walk or stand is interfered with.

If some patients are to be asked, they will probably say that this is not too much of a problem since a common vertigo attack is just momentary, except in rare cases where the person will be having lengthier episodes. The disease we are focusing on happens to be one of the conditions which give us insights into the workings of our various bodily systems. With this, we will be more able to appreciate the delicacy of our various systems and we will also be able to recognize more easily the effects of a malfunction.

Patients with vertigo will suddenly feel as though they are constantly in motion, as if they are moving in circles. It would seem as though they are walking drunk, and no matter how they try to walk one way, they would most likely be going the opposite direction. Dizziness will be inevitable, and nausea attacks will also be involved. Worst case scenario, vomiting would also be possible. The motion would seem so realistic that the patient would eventually believe as though he is really in motion. Thankfully, most people are conversant with other forms of dizziness, and they are therefore able to keep things in perspective when going through these episodes.

The patient could also feel as though he is simply standing still. Meanwhile, he feels that the world is spinning or moving around him, making him dizzy. That is another major symptom of vertigo. Again, this can cause the patient to behave in erratic ways, as he or she feels inclined (at the instinctual level) to avoid the 'moving' objects in his or her environment. This would inevitably mean that the patient's balance is impaired. He would have a hard time standing straight or walking properly.

Another symptom of vertigo would have the patients experiencing a rotating motion in their heads. But the motion is just in their head. In this case, the patient doesn't feel as if he or she is moving. There is no sense of moving objects in his environment and his surroundings are not in a whirl. All the sense of movement is in the patient's head. Essentially, all the whirling is in his head. It is normal for a person to feel thoroughly scared when this sensation hits him or her for the very first time.
