Vertigo vs Motion Sickness: How to Tell the Difference
Vertigo is a feeling that you or your surroundings are spinning, typically caused by inner ear conditions (BPPV, Meniere's disease, vestibular neuritis) or central nervous system issues. Motion sickness is caused by external motion creating sensory mismatch. They feel similar but have different causes and treatments. Vertigo that occurs without motion warrants medical evaluation.
Safe Options

- Vestibular rehabilitation for chronic vertigo
- See a doctor for persistent dizziness
What to Avoid
- Self-diagnosing serious vestibular conditions
- Ignoring vertigo with hearing changes (could indicate Meniere's disease)
