What Causes Severe Vertigo And Nausea?
Hi- I am a 21 year old female, 5 2 , 135 pounds. Four days ago I suddenly started experiencing severe vertigo and nausea. Since then, the vertigo has been constant, though less severe now than in the first two days. I have no ear pain and have not been on any boats, roller coaster rides, bumpy buses, airplanes, or anything else that might account for upsetting the equilibrium in my inner ear. I have no history of vertigo or any other illness. Could there be a serious underlying problem, or should I just let the symptoms go away on their own?

Hi dear,
severe vertigo and nausea may be due to many reason but according to your age and symptoms not to worry much. just consult ENT specialist.
at this age vertigo may be due to ear problem of tympanic membrane or food poisoning etc..
also may be due to hypoglycemia or hypo tension.
so not to worry about it and wait for week and if not improved consult.
Thank you
