Talk:Vertigo

message: The part about "famous people" w/ Vertigo is as follows: Famous people with vertigo: Alexi Kovalev, hockey player, Lebron James, Basketball Player, Seth Woods, Motivational Speaker, George Clinton, Music Artist, Richard Luger, U.S. Senator.  Little messed up, couldn't figure out why Basketball Player was there. Then I realized what it meant. Point is, it may be a little confusing at first. --On2see 20:33, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe try adding brackets: Lebron James (Basketball Player). I don't know what the standard convention is but if you look at List of famous people with breast cancer it follows the "Lebron James, Basketball Player" format. --Skigamemaker 03:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup this little bit, huh? 

message: This article states "Vertigo should not be confused with dizziness. Dizziness is an unpleasant feeling of light-headedness, giddiness or fuzziness often accompanied by nausea."  However, the Dizziness article makes no such distinction between the two. This is confusing, so I've added a mergeto-multiple template to the Dizziness page so that the two can be separated and properly linked to eliminate redundancy and confusion. (I can't do this myself, but I'm not sure if it's because I'm too dizzy, or because I'm having vertigo...?)--Renice 14:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vertigo causes and treatments 

message: I wrote an article on migraine-associated vertigo and was hoping to help on this page.  I think the entire page should be thrown away. I wouldn't even touch it. --Julcal (talk) 15:08, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Have you already transferred your rights to your article? Are you willing to place it (or something else you've created from scratch and/or public-domain material -- especially if you think it would be an improvement) into the public domain, say by your posting it at the bottom of this section of this "talk" (discussion) page? That would do so, and enable us, your colleagues, to consider joining you in starting over in a direction that seems more promising to you.   You would not be automatically "breaking a rule" if you chose to start by replacing our existing article with something you consider a better start; still IMO it would be far more promising to first specifically state here in what way material you propose substituting is preferable.--Jerzy•t 17:05, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

message: It is proposed that Vertigo be part of the trial of a new template; see the green strip at the top of Pain where it has been in place for a couple of months. The purpose of this project is to encourage readers to edit, while equipping them with the basic tools. If you perceive a problem with this, or have any suggestions for improvement, please discuss at the project talk page --Anthonyhcole (talk) 09:57, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Invitation to edit

message: There needs to be a mention on this page about the (incorrect) colloquial usage of the word "vertigo" to refer to the irrational desire to jump off of tall buildings when nearing the edge.  See http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=535083 , especially comment #34.  It's linked to acrophobia but not exclusively.  I can't find a scientific reference about it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.30.48.28 (talk) 04:57, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Colloquial usage

message: " ...  objective − subjects, are moving around the patient;... "  
The comma and the use of the word "subjects" are confusing. Can't really guess what this is trying to say. Is it something like:
" ...  objective − parts or all of the surroundings are moving around the patient;... " 
Is this better, worse, wrong, indifferent?

thread_title:  Clause makes no sense. 

message: I am no medic, so I do not know if there is any truth in this, but dehydration is VERY frequently cited in online articles as a cause of temporary vertigo symptoms. Can anyone with more expertise confirm if there is any truth in this notion? If so, it would be a very useful addition to the article, as dehydration is easy to treat at home! Again speaking as a layman, this would appear to chime with the incidence of vertigo with hangovers, as dehydration is a factor there.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.176.191 (talk) 09:05, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

message: This article doesn't make it clear whether persistent onset is worse than central vertigo or not. I'm trying to figure out what's the worst type of vertigo. --Waqqashanafi (talk) 07:18, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Worst type of vertigo? 

message: What exactly does this mean? How do peripheral causes differ from any other kind of causes? I have added a few more causes of vertigo associated with underwater diving - alternobaric, and vestibular decompression. Are these classed as peripheral? • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 12:57, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I worked it out, it is not the causes that are peripheral or central, it is the vertigo, I have changed the subsection titles to prevent further confusion. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 13:53, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Doc James why have you chosen to use 'drawing' for the image - it is not a drawing - it is a 3D rendering.
