I am still recovering from vertigo myself. It can be caused by low blood pressure, by dehydration, and also by a virus. In my case it was a virus, it infects the small tube in the ears that keeps your balance. It causes no symptoms of illness except for being dizzy. It can clear up on its own, or it can cause permanent vertigo. Mine has taken 3 weeks and I still have touches of it.
