Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. What you are experiencing is called vertigo. Vertigo is only a symptom and usually occurs due to some pre-existing condition. Vertigo is basically a sensation of spinning usually caused due to inner ear abnormalities.

Let me go ahead and list some of the most common causes for vertigo for your reference as well, they are:

+Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (the most common cause)
+Labyrinthitis
+Migraine headaches
+Head injuries
+Blood pressure fluctuations
+Related to imbalance or fluctuations in the menstrual cycle
+Side effect of medications
+Stroke
and a few others.

Please do consult your doctor for further evaluation and management of your vertigo. Please also feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
