Historical Examples. 1  Jones not a British subject after all, but a Swede, who's travelled in America! 2  At the first glance he gave one the impression of being a Finn or a Swede. 3  There was a Swede yarning with the skipper, but they wouldn't let me hear.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) This is one of the most common causes of vertigo. It can occur during specific head movements, while standing up or bending over, crossing the road, or turning in bed. BPPV involves short, intense, recurrent attacks of vertigo (usually lasting a few seconds to a few minutes).
Balance and hearing disorders, head trauma, migraines, and cold viruses or ear infection are all common causes of vertigo. Other causes may include medications or blood pressure problems. What all these conditions have in common is that they affect the inner ear, which helps keep us balanced. When there is a dysfunction of the inner ear, this can affect the sense of balance, leading to symptoms of vertigo, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and loss of balance.
