Westborough - When asked what it is like to suffer from vertigo, Westborough resident Juanita Maranda, 39, is very descriptive.

Vertigo is more than just occasional dizziness. Symptoms can include loss of balance, nausea, blurred vision, problems walking properly, problems standing still, and earache.
