When the surface electrons of a material are disturbed, an imbalance of negative and positive charges arises between the. inter-acting surfaces, and results in the phenomenon known as. static electricity. A deficiency or surplus of a single electron.
Vertigo is usually due to a disturbance in the vestibular system. The vestibular system is one of three sensory systems subserving spatial orientation and posture; the other two are the visual system (retina to occipital cortex) and the. somatosensory system that conveys peripheral information from skin, joint, and muscle receptors.
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.
