Vertigo

Tips from survivors: “I pause and focus on a fixed point until the spinning settles.”

A sensation that you or the room around you is spinning or moving.

Feeling dizzy, unsteady, or as if the environment is rotating, often accompanied by nausea, imbalance, or difficulty walking.

Stroke can affect the brain regions involved in balance and spatial orientation, including the cerebellum or vestibular pathways.

Less common than general dizziness but can occur in strokes involving balance-related areas.

Vestibular therapy, balance training, slow position changes, and medical evaluation if symptoms persist.
