7.Psychophysical Vertigo
Psychophysical Vertigo Syndrome is a set of symptoms that can begin for no particular reason, or can begin after a stressful event or a traumatic vestibular event (like an inner ear infection or virus). This syndrome causes recurring dizziness or light-headedness, but usually not true spinning vertigo. Other symptoms may include; a constant rocking or tilting feeling, unsteadiness when walking or a feeling of being pulled to one side, feeling that the ground is moving or unstable, “fogginess” or “heaviness” of the head, dizziness after sudden head movements, feeling overly tired, tingling on the head or face, nausea, headaches, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), tightness or aching neck, throat or jaw, agitation or difficulty relaxing. Although inner-ear balance function test results are undertaken to exclude other causes of vertigo, they are often normal.
