There are three major symptoms that are usually known to direct you to vertigo. Let us take this opportunity to study what these symptoms are so we will know more about them. A patient suffering from the condition known as vertigo will find that all these manifestations affect his or her sense of balance. 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.
Thankfully, the individual episodes tend to be brief, though there are some patients in whom they end up occurring all too often, necessitating some serious medical interventions. For those who don't know, vertigo is a condition that could be useful in helping us get more in touch with our bodily processes and dynamics. It is also one of the conditions that help us appreciate just delicate our bodily systems are, and how alarming the effects of a seemingly simple bodily system's malfunction can be.
The first way in which vertigo normally manifests in patients is where the patient feels as if he or she is moving, normally in a circular motion. At a glance, it would seem as though he or she is drunk, weaving as he or she moves. Even as he or she tries to move towards one direction, he or she will be moving the other way instead. The patient will be experiencing bouts of dizziness, combined with nausea and vomiting. Other patients would feel as if they are moving too much and they would not even doubt it. That is how real it seems. A vertigo attack could be confusing when dizziness takes place, and it is a good thing that many patients are actually able to keep a tight rein on their consciousness even during an episode.
The second way in which vertigo normally manifests in patients is where the patient doesn't feel as if he or she is moving, but rather, where he or she gets the perception that it is the things in the immediate environment that are 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. This would inevitably mean that the patient's balance is impaired. He would have a hard time standing straight or walking properly.
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. The patient feels as though he is in a static mode, rooted to the spot and not moving at all. Neither does he or she get the perception that the things in the immediate environment are moving. All the sense of movement is in the patient's head. Essentially, all the whirling is in his head. This can be a very scary thing when it is only the first time that someone is experiencing it.
