Is vertigo the same as dizziness?

MYTH

Not true.  The terms vertigo and dizziness are often used interchangeably, but their symptoms and their causes are different. Typically dizziness makes you feel like your head is spinning, and vertigo makes you feel like the world is spinning around you or the floor beneath your feet is tilting. [8]
