I'm pretty sure that horiztonal vertigo isn't a fear.

Yeah, I'd go condition.

but vertigo is the fear of heights innit, sooooo logically...

Haha I have ecky ducky on my side. Who can go against me

Mwahahaha

Um no. Vertigo is not fear of heights. Acrophobia is the fear of heights.

Vertigo or Horizontal Vertigo is a condition. It's like dizzy spells but not. And worse.

I should know I know someone who had it.

Look even Wikipedia acknowledges it.

Acrophobia (from Greek ἄκρος, meaning "summit") is an extreme or irrational fear of heights. It belongs to a category of specific phobias, called space and motion discomfort that share both similar etiology and options for treatment.

Taken from Wikipedia-ing 'Fear of heights': "Acrophobia can be dangerous, as sufferers can experience a panic attack in a high place and become too agitated to get themselves down safely. Some acrophobics also suffer from urges to throw themselves off high places, despite not being suicidal.

"Vertigo" is often used, incorrectly, to describe the fear of heights, but it is more accurately described as a spinning sensation, which may be caused by looking down from a high place, as well as by some other stimuli. Vertigo is qualified as height vertigo when referring to dizziness triggered by heights. "

Taken from Wikipedia-ing Vertigo:

"Vertigo, a specific type of dizziness, is a major symptom of a balance disorder. It is the sensation of spinning or swaying while the body is stationary with respect to the earth or surroundings. There are two types of vertigo: subjective and objective. Subjective vertigo is when a person feels a false sensation of movement. Objective vertigo is when the surroundings will appear to move past a person's field of vision.

The effects of vertigo may be slight. It can cause nausea and vomiting and, if severe, may give rise to difficulty with standing and walking.

The word "vertigo" comes from the Latin "vertere", to turn + the suffix "-igo", a condition = a condition of turning about.[1]"

Horiztonal Vertigo is pretty much the same as Vertigo I'm pretty sure. It's not onset by looking down from heights though..
