3. Feelings of Motion Sickness
In the journal Neurology, scientists have noted the discovery of a new kind of vertigo called recurrent spontaneous vertigo with head-shaking nystagmus (RSV-HSN). This type of vertigo involves severe bouts of motion sickness.4Lee, Sun-Uk, et al. ‘Recurrent Spontaneous Vertigo with Interictal Headshaking Nystagmus.’ Neurology, Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. on Behalf of the American Academy of Neurology, 12 June 2018, n.neurology.org/content/90/24/e2135.
Attacks of this vertigo type can cause nausea, vomiting, headaches and intolerance to head movements. People can experience symptoms from a few times a week to once a year. The cause of RSV-HSN isn’t yet known, but the condition seems to respond well to medication.
