Vertigo and Balance Problems
The vestibular system is a sensory system that works with the inner ear and the brain to control balance, coordination of movement and your position in space. When the vestibular system is affected, you may experience issues with balance, dizziness and nausea, and can be at an increased risk of falls. You may feel unstable when walking or changing positions, and may feel more clumsy than usual. You may also experience vertigo, which is a sensation where the room feels like its spinning around you. Vertigo and balance problems can be extremely unpleasant and can interfere with your ability to complete daily tasks.
