15 Causes & Common Triggers Of Vertigo (You Should Know)

Ear Surgery

It’s not uncommon for people who undergo procedures to the inner ear or skull to experience vertigo. 

Inner ear surgery can disrupt this delicate balance system, causing the semicircular canals to become blocked, allowing fluid to build up behind them. This buildup causes the fluid in your semicircular canal to swell, putting pressure on your vestibule nerve. When pressure builds up along the nerve due to this swelling, it increases your susceptibility to vertigo and other symptoms like tinnitus (ringing in the ears), nausea, loss of appetite, and vomiting.
