This system helps inform your brain on the movement of your head, particularly if you are turning or rotating, and contributes to your overall balance and center of gravity. If this system is not working properly, you may experience dizziness, unsteadiness, or spinning sensations as you go about your day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are some common causes of dizziness?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)&nbsp;\n<ul>\n<li>BPPV is a common cause of dizziness where tiny calcium crystals become dislodged and float into areas of the vestibular system, or the inner ear, that do not belong. This will result in dizziness or a spinning sensation, particularly when you lay down or roll over in bed.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Unilateral Vestibular Hypofunction (UVH)&nbsp;&nbsp;\n<ul>\n<li>UVH is a term used when the vestibular system, or part of the inner ear, that helps with balance is working properly in one ear, but not in the other. When this happens, common symptoms include dizziness, unsteadiness when walking or turning the head, and blurry vision.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Meniere\u2019s Disease&nbsp;\n<ul>\n<li>This disease is associated with increased pressure or fluid build up in the ears.
