Oxford gives,

padecer de/tener vértigo = to suffer from/have vertigo;

me da or produce vértigo asomarme a la ventana = leaning out of the window gives me vertigo, leaning out of the window makes me
dizzy o giddy;

de vértigo: a una velocidad de vértigo = at breakneck speed; excedentes de vértigo = startling or amazing surpluses
