If you want to know how vertigo manifests in patients, we can name three specific ones. We will be taking each of the said three manifestations of the disease in turn, with the simple objective of understanding what each involves. All three symptoms we are going to discuss will have a lot to do with the balance of the patience who is experiencing vertigo. This in turn means that (at least for as long as the episode of the condition is going on), the patient's ability to walk or stand is interfered with.
A normal episode would last for only a few minutes, so this should not be too much of a problem. However, there are some instances when an episode could last more than a few minutes, sometimes even longer. The disease we are focusing on happens to be one of the conditions which give us insights into the workings of our various bodily systems. With this, we will be more able to appreciate the delicacy of our various systems and we will also be able to recognize more easily the effects of a malfunction.That constant sense of movement experienced by some patients is a sure symptom of vertigo. Usually they would feel like they are moving in a circular motion.
The end result is a situation where the patient is likely to behave as if he or she is drunk, as he or she tries to move in the desired direction, while at the same time facing opposition from the perceived 'internal forces.' Dizziness will be inevitable, and nausea attacks will also be involved. Worst case scenario, vomiting would also be possible. Sometimes, the motion is too strong and the movements too realistic that they would not doubt even for a moment that sense of movement is merely taking place in their heads. Thankfully, most people are conversant with other forms of dizziness, and they are therefore able to keep things in perspective when going through these episodes.
Vertigo could also manifest itself in another way: the person is actually moving, but he or she feels that it is his or her environment that is moving. Again, this can cause the patient to behave in erratic ways, as he or she feels inclined (at the instinctual level) to avoid the 'moving' objects in his or her environment. The perception also interferes with balance - leading to a situation where the patient going through this finds it almost impossible to walk or even remain standing.
The third way in which vertigo normally manifests in patients is where the patient experiences a rather disturbing perception of rotation inside his or her head. For the patient, there is no sense of movement at all, or the patient does not feel as though he or she is moving in any way. There is no sense of moving objects in his environment and his surroundings are not in a whirl. Rather, the whole thing is restricted to the head, with the patient in this case experiencing a sensation as if some sort of 'whirling' is taking place in his or her head. For someone who is experiencing this sensation for the very first time, it could be quite terrifying. That is the normal and instinctive reaction.
