Vertigo caused by inflammation of the inner ear (labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis) will last for days until the inflammation subsides. Attacks of vertigo due to Meniere's disease can last from 20 minutes to 24 hours. Vertigo is not usually common with acoustic neuroma (tumor), although it is more commonly associated with smaller tumors in the early stages. As the tumor grows, vertigo lessens or disappears.
Vertigo can feel similar to motion sickness. Patients generally refer to vertigo as âfeeling dizzy.â Vertigo is not the same as lightheadedness. The most common causes of vertigo are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniereâs disease, and acute onset vertigo. Treatment depends on the cause. Popular treatments include special medications called vestibular blocking agents. The outlook for vertigo-associated disease (VAD) depends on the cause.
