Why do I get vertigo?

You’re standing or sitting perfectly still, but yet you feel like everything is spinning around you, as if you were on a theme park ride. You’ve been getting nausea and throwing up too. Well, the chances are you’re suffering from vertigo. According to the NHS: "Vertigo can also feel like you're being pulled, tilted, or pushed to one side…[and is] often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, problems with balance, or difficulty moving." The causes can be varied, but generally speaking, vertigo is a balance disorder. Our balance system relies on information from many different organs and tissues within the body, including the eyes and ears for example. Do we know what causes vertigo?
