What do u mean by vertigo ?

Here is a general description I copied;

Definition

Vertigo is a feeling of spinning or whirling when you are not moving. It can also be an exaggerated feeling of motion when your body is still. Vertigo is different from passing dizziness or light-headedness.

Causes

Inner ear nerves and structures sense the position of your head and body in space. Vertigo is often caused by problems with these nerves and structures.

Vertigo can be due to the following conditions:

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

There are tiny particles that naturally exist in the inner ear. Sometimes these particles can be displaced when the head is tilted. The particles then push against hair-like sensors in the ear. This can cause vertigo. BPPV may result from:

Head injury

Infections

Disorders of the inner ear

Age-related breakdown of the vestibular system

Idiopathic (no obvious cause)

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Labyrinthitis

Labyrinthitis is swelling and irritation of the inner ear. This often follows an upper respiratory infection, like a cold.

Meniere's Disease

Meniere's disease is caused by a Fluid buildup in a part of the inner ear. This vertigo usually occurs along with hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing in the ear).

There are so many things that could be wrong, but I would strongly suggest you visit your primary care physician or an ENT. Sometimes surgeons may not be as well versed in things that are commonly seen by your regular physician.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
