Additional information

  Vertigo is a feeling of everything spinning around. It can be accompanied by nausea and sickness and lead to the affected person falling. There are many different causes and, if known, the cause should be looked up in the index.

  Because faintness after donation can cause similar symptoms, it is recommended that people affected by vertigo should only donate if they are not experiencing any symptoms.
