Does the room seem to spin?

"Well, I'm not sure if it's the room that's turning or me. It's a very unpleasant sensation. It's like I've had too much sherry. But, of course, I'd never do that."

Practice Tip: One additional question that we have found helpful is to remind people of the game they played as kids, running round in circles to make themselves dizzy. This quite often seems to prompt a memory and enables them to draw that analogy, if this is vertigo that they are experiencing.
