Results: Have you ever experienced severe vertigo?

While some illusions bring us the joy of cinema, others can be a little dangerous. As our sense of balance is located in the inner ear – but is also heavily reliant on the visual world – pilots experience severe vertigo when visual reference points are obscured or absent. If they fly at night or in clouds, an illusion is created & they become unsure whether the plane is gaining or losing altitude, thus they are advised to rely on their equipment during such moments. *** The symptoms of vertigo are transient & can last a few minutes to a few hours or more. The most common symptoms are spinning, tilting & swaying.
