A feeling of giddiness, also known as a sensation of feeling off balance is called Vertigo.  Vertigo is often caused by an inner ear problem usually those thought to be caused by a build-up of fluid and changing pressure in the ear. Other causes can be due to viral infections of the inner ear. Vertigo is often triggered by a change in the position of the head. Symptoms can last from a few minutes to a few hours or more and may come and go. Treatment for vertigo depends on the cause. In many cases, vertigo goes away without any treatment. For prolonged cases, a visit to the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) doctor is very essential.
