Inner ear disorders, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Ménière's disease, vestibular neuritis, or labyrinthitis.If these false signals conflict with signals from the other balance and positioning centers of the body, vertigo may occur. Injury to or diseases of the inner ear can send false signals to the brain indicating that the balance mechanism of the inner ear (labyrinth) detects motion. A portion of the inner ear, called the labyrinth, which includes the semicircular canals, contains specialized cells that detect motion and changes in position.

Skin pressure sensation gives you information about your body's position and motion in relationship to gravity.
Your body is then automatically able to make tiny changes in posture that help you maintain your balance (proprioception).
Unexplained fainting spells need to be evaluated by a doctor. Sometimes the cause of lightheadedness is an abnormal heart rhythm ( arrhythmia), which can cause fainting spells (syncope). Heavy menstrual bleeding also can cause this type of lightheadedness. When this happens, lightheadedness and fatigue may be the first noticeable symptoms that you are losing blood. You may have small amounts of bleeding in your digestive tract over days or weeks without noticing the bleeding. But sometimes bleeding is not obvious (occult bleeding). Most of the time, the location of the bleeding and the need to seek medical care are obvious.
