ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Vertiginous question

Vertigo is a feeling of dizziness and like you are spinning or the room is spinning around you. It's like you can't keep your balance. Normally, it goes away on its own in a few minutes, but sometimes it can last for a few hours or days. It can happen when you are sitting, standing, or lying down. It can also be brought on by certain movements of your head, like quickly turning your head.
