Abstract
Vertigo is a condition that results from disturbance of the upper orifices induced by Wind, Fire, Phlegm, blood stasis or a state of deficiency. Its main symptoms are dizziness and blurring of vision. In mild cases, dizziness may disappear upon closing the eyes. In more severe cases, the sensation resembles that of seasickness or carsickness. The patient feels as though incessantly rotating and is unable to stand upright. There may be accompanying nausea or vomiting, tinnitus, a pallid complexion and sweating. When very severe, there may be abrupt fainting.
