Vertigo is a condition where you can’t keep your body upright in balance. Without body balance, it is not possible to stand, walk, work…and do any of your normal daily activities. Vertigo can be caused by an inner ear disorder and some types of neurological disorders (cerebellum disorders, extra pyramidal disorders, spinal disorders etc.). Vertigo can be also a symptom of disorders that are not primarily neurological in nature, but can affect the nervous system: hypo- or hyper-glikemia, acute alcohol or narcotic abuse, arterial hypo- or hyper-tension, etc. A type of headache called a migraine is also accompanied by vertigo.
Given your report of no diagnosis for vertigo and normal medical examinations, your “vertigo” could be due to anxiety or stress.
You might try to stop “asking” for disease and try to accept living with that feeling. A consultation with a mental health doctor may also help.
