Vertigo / Dizziness

---

Vertigo is one of the most common reasons that people go to a physician. Overall, vertigo affects as much as 10% of the population. However, this condition becomes more common as a person ages and as much as 40% of the 40-and-over population will experience vertigo at some point. A 10-year-long study of emergency rooms in the United States revealed that about 2.5% of ER visits are vertigo-related.
