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.
The spinning sensation and dizziness you get from vertigo can limit your activities and make you feel sick. Depending on the cause, though, some simple maneuvers you can do at home might bring relief. The most common type is BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), and it's also the easiest to treat. BPPV happens when small crystals of calcium get loose in your inner ear. You may feel it when you're getting in or out of bed, or tilting your head up.
