I occasionally suffer from this, it's really not very nice...
Description:
When the
labyrinth within the inner
ear becomes
inflamed or dysfunctional, you are no longer able to correctly judge your
movements or estimate your
position. This leads to over estimating, or under estimating your movements, resulting in the
illusion that the room around you is constantly
spinning.
This usually occurs more frequently (but is not limited) to people who have
hearing deficiencies, and is triggered by an
imbalance in the middle ear due to
bacteria or
viral activity.
Symptoms:
Severe
dizziness or
vertigo, motion
sickness,
headache and I've also been known to
vomit.
Duration:
It can last from anything up to a couple of days to a few weeks.
Remedy:
The sensation of vertigo can not be remedied, you just have to sit it out. However there are drugs on the market to help alleviate the vomiting.
