Hitchcock thriller from 1958 (7)

I believe the answer is:

vertigo

(Other definitions for vertigo that I've seen before include "Problem brought on by heights" , "source of imbalance" , "Sensation of dizziness caused by heights" , "Sensation brought on by great heights" , "unbalanced feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
