What is vertigo?
With vertigo you see everything turning or moving. This can even be accompanied by nausea and anxiety. It often helps to sit or lie down until the dizziness goes away. If you experience this more often or if you do not trust it, it is advisable to contact your doctor. The GP can then refer you to a physiotherapist in your area. You can even do this at Physiotherapy Iburg in Rotterdam without referral contact us for an appointment. Ask about the possibilities.

What causes vertigo?
The medical name for vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, also known as BPPV. Positional vertigo is an intense but short-lived rotational dizziness when your head changes position quickly. This can be done, for example, by bending forward, looking back or turning in bed. The exact cause of vertigo is not known, but the problem lies in the vestibular system. Because this organ does not function properly, you experience vertigo, which you experience as unpleasant. This vertigo is usually accompanied by a typical movement of the eyes. This form of dizziness can be remedied with special physiotherapy.
