can vertigo be caused by stress
Vertigo and Stress. While stress is not considered a cause of vertigo, vertigo can cause stress, and stress can exacerbate the condition. In a study performed on 190 patients by Science Links Japan, results indicated that 31.8 percent also were experiencing stress.
Additional Causes. Migraine attacks may cause vertigo that can last a few minutes or a few days. Stress, food allergies and hormonal changes can cause migraine-related vertigo. Less likely causes of vertigo may involve neurological problems, including brain hemorrhage, stroke or multiple sclerosis.
