Dizziness: When Should You Be Worried?

Dizziness is the sensation of lightheadedness, faintness, or unsteadiness. Dizziness does not involve a rotational component.

Most people experience a few seconds of spatial disorientation at some point. However, frequent episodes of vertigo, which may last only for a few seconds or days on end, are a primary sign of vestibular dysfunction, especially when linked to changes in head position.

Dizziness can be a primary sign of a vestibular disorder in addition to several cardiovascular, neurological, metabolic, vision, and psychological problems. It is also possible that a person may have a combination of problems, such as a degenerative vestibular disorder along with a visual deficit, such as cataracts, or a neurological disorder, such as a stroke.

Because of the many possible causes of dizziness, getting a correct diagnosis is a key factor for facilitating recovery.
