Hello,
Vertigo is a problem that is related with problems related to inner ear. Kidney stones are calcified materials present in the kidney, ureter (tube that transports urine from kidney to urinary bladder) or urinary bladder. These two conditions are totally different and they do not relate with each other.
However, when the stone moves from one part of urinary tract to another and pinches in the ureter or flesh of the organ, you might get intense pain and may feel nauseated and dizzy, which could be misinterpreted as vertigo.
If the ultrasound suggests that the stone is larger, you may have to go for lithotripsy procedure to break the stone down in smaller parts by ultrasonic waves. Smaller stones can be removed through urine by drinking plenty of fluids.
I wish this information helps. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic.
