What is Vertigo? I feel very uncomfortable with Heights.

Vertigo literally means dizziness, a reeling sensation, a feeling that you are swaying and about to fall, when you are stationary. In severe cases it causes nausea and vomiting making it difficult to stand or walk. The most common vertigo is the 'height Vertigo', where the dizziness is triggered by Heights.

Many use the term 'vertigo' to describe their fear of heights, but the fear of heights is Acrophobia. It is caused due to imbalance in the body. It is also due to inadequate blood flow to the brain, excess consumption of salt, which again impairs circulation, injury, infection or neurological diseases.

Yogasanams like Malasana, Salamba sirasasana, Halasana helps in overcoming Vertigo.
