Overview
Definition
Causes
I about 25% of patients over age 50 who have dizziness, a specific cause cannot be found[1].
Medications
Differentiating Dizziness from other Diseases
Vertigo | Presyncope | Disequilibrium | Psychogenic dizziness
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of dizziness include[2][3][4]:
- Family history of thromboembolic factors (diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and rheumatic disease)
- Cardiac arrhythmias
- Stroke
- Medication side effect (diuretics, antiepileptic drugs, opioid-based analgesics, antipsychotic drugs, antidepressants, antihypertensive, antifungal, lithium, benzodiazepines, antiarrhythmic, antimalarial and anti-HIV-drugs.
- Multiple sclerosis
- Seizures
- Brain tumors
- Benign positional vertigo
- Labyrinthitis
