Diagnosing and treating dizziness

Alexandra Molnar et al. Med Clin North Am. 2014 May.

Abstract

Dizziness is a common presenting concern in primary care practice. The most useful diagnostic approach in distinguishing different types of dizziness is a thorough history and physical examination; additional tests are rarely necessary. Effective treatments exist for many causes of dizziness, and these treatments are often accomplished in the clinic or at home without the need for medication.

Keywords: Dizziness; Epley; Primary care; Vertigo.
