I think its a little interesting to get vertigo in setu bandasana of all

poses. Vertigo or room spinning can be provoked by an otolith (little

particle in semicircular canals) in the middle ear being dislodged that

sometimes occurs with rotation of the head. Bridge pose however is pretty

much stationary. It could be Benign Paroxysmal Positional

Vertigo. This would be considered peripheral vertigo, however, you should

go to your general doctor (or an otolaryngologist if its associated with

hearing problems or ringing in the ears.) They should be able to diagnose

it definitively as well as possibly give you exercises to do for the

symptoms. Other possibilities include equilibrium disorders...are you

pressing on your spine during setu bandasana?

 

these are obviously just some thoughts...better to see your doctor.

Thanks for your response Paneez! I haven't experienced any hearing

loss and I don't have any ringing in my ears, but I will consider

getting this checked out just the same. The problem did go away the

first time it occured (last May), but obviously something's still

wrong or it wouldn't have happened again.
