Historical Examples. 1  Jones not a British subject after all, but a Swede, who's travelled in America! 2  At the first glance he gave one the impression of being a Finn or a Swede. 3  There was a Swede yarning with the skipper, but they wouldn't let me hear.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) This is one of the most common causes of vertigo. It can occur during specific head movements, while standing up or bending over, crossing the road, or turning in bed. BPPV involves short, intense, recurrent attacks of vertigo (usually lasting a few seconds to a few minutes).
Causes of Vertigo-Associated Disease. There are two categories of vertigo. Peripheral vertigo occurs as a result of a problem in the inner ear or the vestibular nerve. The vestibular nerve connects the inner ear with the brain. Central vertigo occurs when there is a problem in the brain, especially the cerebellum.
