Dear Dr AI

Hi, Dr AI.  I'm having a bit of a problem with dizziness.

Don't worry, that's probably just your lifestyle.  You haven't drunk enough water today.

Oh, okay.  Thanks.  I'll drink some water then.

Of course, it could be your blood pressure.  Did you stand up too fast?

No, I - 

Or it could be labyrinthitis.

Oh, dear.  What is that?

A 1986 musical fantasy film directed by Jim Henson from a screenplay by Terry Jones based on a story conceived by Henson and Dennis Lee.

No, not Labyrinth.  Labyrinthitis.

Labyrinthitis is an inflammation of the labyrinth.

What is the labyrinth?

A complex, twisting pattern of paths and passageways in which it's easy to get lost.  Also called a maze.

How can a maze become inflamed?

.....   .....    Vestibular neuritis.

What?

It is a type of inner ear infection that can make you dizzy.

What does it have to do with a labyrinth?

....   ....

You know what?  Never mind.  I'm going to ask my mom.
