-==Overview==
+==[[Dizziness overview|Overview]]==
-Dizziness is a common but vague symptom.  A wide variety of symptoms are often referred to as dizziness.
-==Differential Diagnosis of Dizziness==
-The first step in the assessment of dizziness is to determine through a focused history with greater specificity the precise symptoms the patient is experiencing.  The following links direct you to the appropriate chapter based upon the patient's precise symptoms:
-===Presyncope===
-====Synonyms or Words Used to Describe Syndrome====
-Synonyms and symptoms used to describe [[presyncope]] include:
-:*[[Faintness]]
-:*[[Generalized weakness]]
-:*[[Lightheadedness]]
-:*[[Near fainting]]
-====Associated Symptoms====
-[[Presyncope]] is a transient and episodic [[prodrome]]. The other symptoms which usually accompany this [[prodrome]] are [[diaphoresis]], [[blurring of vision]], [[nausea]], [[palpitations]], [[feeling of warmth]], [[pallor]], [[paresthesia]].
-==Vertigo==
-[[Vertigo]]: '''Vertigo''' is a transient and episodic perception of false sensation of motion. The most common motion is a spinning sensation of the surrounding environment around the patient but some may interpret it as a self motion. Tilting, whirling, swaying and moving forward, backward or on either sides may be the other terms used to describe the motion. Nausea, vomiting, some degree of imbalance and autonomic signs like pallor, diaphoresis and tachycardia are the common accompanying signs and symptoms.
-==Disequilibrium==
-[[Disequilibrium]]: '''Disequilibrium''' is an impaired sense or absence of balance that primarily occurs during standing or walking and usually without any cephalic sensations like headache, nausea and vomiting. It is more of a continuous symptom rather than the episodic presyncope and vertigo.
-==Drop Attack==
-[[Drop attack]]: '''Drop attacks''' are sudden spontaneous falls while [[Standing (position)|standing]] or [[walking]], followed by a very swift recovery, within seconds or minutes.
-==Motion Sickness==
