Overview
Among the patient who presents with dizziness in the primary care setting, fifty-four percent have vertigo upon investigation. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, acute vestibular neuronitis, or Ménière’s disease account for ninety-three percent of patients diagnosed with true vertigo in primary care setting. Eighty-percent of patients noticed that vertigo impacted their employment status and increased the need for medical attention. Annual incidence of vertigo is 1.4%. With age prevalence increases. One-year prevalence of vertigo is 5%. Women are two to three times more susceptible than men.
