- Vertigo is a symptom of disfunction somewhere (almost anywhere and for
- many reasons) in the vestibular system. There is a sensation that the
- patient is moving or the environment is moving. It is usually benign
- and self-limiting, but there are some more serious causes of it.
- And ENT specialist or Neurologist is the one to see if the family
- doc can't handle it.
