Dizziness, vertigo, and other balance problems can be caused by inner ear disorders, diseases that range from arthritis to low blood pressure, and side effects of certain medications. Many patients who experience dizziness and vertigo describe feeling like the room is spinning, a rocking sensation as if on a boat, or they feel lightheaded or unsteady. 

​

Dizziness and vertigo, and most balance disorders can be treated successfully. The earlier you seek treatment, the more likely you are to fully recover.
