		Vertigo is a feeling of movement, a sensation as if the external world were revolving around the patient (objective vertigo) or as if he himself were revolving in space (subjective vertigo).

	Re: What exactly causes vertigo?
		Vertigo is a sense of dizziness and disorientation, and it often arises due to problems with the vestibular system.

		Vertigo is thought to be caused by a disruption of the various components that make up the vestibular system.
