age, but they are more common among older adults. Although, light-headedness and
fainting are mainly caused due to general weakness, vertigo is a symptom in itself that is
marked by a specific kind of dizziness in which the individual feels that the surrounding
is moving, although there is no actual movement. The person can also feel as if he is off
balance, with sensations of tilting, spinning, whirling or falling. Severe vertigo can
trigger nausea, vomiting and loss of balance. Some common causes of vertigo and
dizziness are Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis, Meniere’s disease, and BPPV or benign
paroxysmal positional vertigo. Acupressure and reflexology help in treating the
