Hola!

Esto es de un expediente médico. Me imagino que tiene que ver algo con "room spinning" o algo parecido, pero no estoy segura si lo traduzco bien.

¡Gracias de antemano!

Dr Jane Marshall Mar 2, 2016:
I remember at uni that the ENT team drilled this into us: true vertigo only refers to the sentation of the room spinning. I can´t comment on what is standard use in Spanish, but in English, the second part of this sentence "the feeling that the room is spinning" would be more to confirm that the patient is in fact suffering from vertigo, and not, for example, dizziness or feeling strange at heights.

What Is Vertigo?

Patient Comments

Vertigo is the feeling that you or your environment is moving or spinning. It differs from dizziness in that vertigo describes an illusion of movement. When you feel as if you yourself are moving, it's called subjective vertigo, and the perception that your surroundings are moving is called objective vertigo.

disagree celiacp : you are mixing up two kinds of vertigo

agree Dr. Jason Faulkner : Actually, that's correct. Vertigo requires a "spinning" sensation. Adding that there are spinning objects is to differentiate it from "lightheadedness" which does not involve a spinning sensation or from "dizziness" which can be either.

neutral philgoddard : I don't think you can ignore "con giro de objetos".
