PEOPLE suffering from vertigo in India are increasingly turning to social media to seek information and even treatment and support, a latest study has found.
Kavita Bajeli-Datt @ New Delhi

Vertigo is the feeling that you, or your environment, is moving or spinning.

The study also found that most vertigo patients (51 per cent) turned to micro-blogging site X (formerly Twitter) as a platform to seek advice regarding treatment options. In contrast, a smaller group, comprising 46 per cent, sought information through medical forums, said the study published in International Journal of Clinical Skills. YouTube was another favoured platform.
