While looking down from a great height can trigger vertigo for those who are afraid of heights, vertigo itself is not a fear of heights. The medical term for an irrational fear of heights is acrophobia. Vertigo refers to a sensation of spinning or dizziness that is often linked to problems within the inner ear or brain. #Vertigo #Acrophobia #FearOfHeights #InnerEar #Dizziness #BalanceDisorder #MedicalTerminology #InnerEarDisorders #BrainHealth #BalanceIssues
