Vertigo is often related to motion sickness. Patients report the same queasy feelings and unbalanced actions. Many have stated that they feel the room is spinning around them.

There are two separate types of vertigo. One deals with the inner ear, and the other is considered to originate from the nerves that send signals to the brain. These are peripheral and central vertigo respectively. Your doctor will perform tests to determine which type you suffer from.
