Sorry it took me so long to respond my beautiful friend. I believe that the vertigo stems from compression to the 10th nerve as well. Stimulation to the Vagus nerve can cause weird arrthymias and low heart rates and cause dizziness, vertigo, fainting.

Hi Tess!  Yes, there was a long delay in your response.............(I posted that on Jan 25, 2011).  But that's OK.  The vertigo is not so bad these days, but I am in SO MUCH PAIN!!!!  Worse than usual and for a long time.  The right-side back of my throat, my posterior 1/3 of my tongue, and my ear are absolutely THROBBING.  And the bad taste in my mouth is nasty, nasty, nasty.  I'd scream, but it would hurt too bad.  It's almost 3:00 p.m., and I'm still in my jammies - that's how bad it is.  I'm only consuming liquids lately (would LOVE wine, but I don't want to mix alcohol and meds).  I am SO SICK OF THIS BS.  That 10th cranial nerve is very interesting..........it can even refer pain to your abdomen - which I also have - and it seems to flair up when I'm having a bad attack of my various cranial neuralgias.  I can't wait for this one to pass so I can have a little wine with my whine!  Hope you're well, Tess.  And happy!
