The main cause of vertigo is disorders of the inner ear. This then triggers a problem with the body's balance mechanism. In addition, there are several other factors that can cause vertigo, including: sudden changes in position, for example including spinning in a circle or side effects of drugs. Vertigo often makes it difficult for sufferers to sleep. Unfortunately, lack of sleep will make vertigo symptoms worse. Meanwhile, an inappropriate sleeping position will actually trigger vertigo symptoms, and this also applies to people who have never experienced it though. Vertigo caused by vestibular neuritis can last from a few days to 2-3 weeks and occur suddenly. Vestibular neuritis also often occurs after a viral upper respiratory tract infection. If the patient experiences vertigo for a long time and is accompanied by pressure in the ears, immediately visit an ENT doctor. This condition can be a sign of Meniere's disease.
