Many people with migraines experience problems with vertigo. Some people with headache disorders can develop vertigo even when they are not experiencing pain. Migraine headaches can result in dizziness that causes one to feel unsteady. The underlying cause is a combination of an altered blood vessel and neural processes that affect the vestibular area. There are many similarities between migraines and vertigo. Some of the food and environmental triggers that cause migraines also can trigger dizziness. Spinning problems along with a headache may be mistaken for vision issues; however, they're primarily related to the inner ear.
