What is Vertigo and which Yoga posture should not be done in case of vertigo?
Vertigo, a symptom of a balance disorder, is the illusion of movement when no movement is present.
Vertigo is kind of dizziness, a malfunction of the inner ear that makes the patient feel like everything is whirling
around.
The term vertigo refers to the sensation of spinning or whirling that occurs as a result of a disturbance in
balance (equilibrium). It also may be used to describe feelings of dizziness, light headedness, faintness, and
unsteadiness.
Vertigo usually occurs as a result of a disorder in the vestibular system (i.e., structures of the inner ear, the
vestibular nerve, brainstem, and cerebellum). The vestibular system is responsible for integrating sensory stimuli
and movement and for keeping objects in visual focus as the body moves.
Vertigo is one of the most common health problems in adults. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
about 40% of people in the United States experience feeling dizzy at least once during their lifetime.
Yoga Posture like Scorpion should not be done in case of Vertigo symtopms and it is better that you should first get
yourself checked by the doctor.
