3. Whirling Sensations and Disorientation
Vertigo often starts as a feeling of whirling or spinning. This feeling can leave the person feeling disorientated. They know they’re standing still, or seated, but the world feels like it’s moving.
A mild attack may pass after a few seconds, but in some cases, vertigo persists and the feeling of confusion and loss of orientation is very strong. Vertigo can leave a person unsure of which way is up and scared to stand or walk without holding on to something.
