Giddiness is one of the most common condition by which the body communicates  the presence of an ailment. It is age-agnostic and the severity depends on the person and the condition.  

Vertigo is an illusion of motion, a feeling of spinning of our self or our surroundings.   More common in the elderly, studies show the lifetime adult prevalence to be 7.4 per cent.  It is often under-diagnosed and under-treated. This leads to anxiety in the patients. The three common diseases present with vertigo are

  • BPPV(Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)
  • Vestibular Migraine
  • Meniere’s disease
