+==Pathophysiology==
 ==Causes==
-Dizziness being a vague term, it includes several causes from various sensations like [[vertigo]], [[presyncope]], [[disequilibrium]] and [[psychogenic dizziness]].
+==Differentiating dizziness from other diseases==
 ==Epidemiology and Demographics==
-Dizziness is the most common nonpain symptom following fatigue in clinic and community populations<ref name="Kroenke-1990">{{Cite journal  | last1 = Kroenke | first1 = K. | last2 = Arrington | first2 = ME. | last3 = Mangelsdorff | first3 = AD. | title = The prevalence of symptoms in medical outpatients and the adequacy of therapy. | journal = Arch Intern Med | volume = 150 | issue = 8 | pages = 1685-9 | month = Aug | year = 1990 | doi =  | PMID = 2383163 }}</ref>. It is also one of the most common complaints in ambulatory care, accounting for nearly 8 million outpatient visits annually in the United States<ref name="Sloane-">{{Cite journal  | last1 = Sloane | first1 = PD. | last2 = Dallara | first2 = J. | last3 = Roach | first3 = C. | last4 = Bailey | first4 = KE. | last5 = Mitchell | first5 = M. | last6 = McNutt | first6 = R. | title = Management of dizziness in primary care. | journal = J Am Board Fam Pract | volume = 7 | issue = 1 | pages = 1-8 | month =  | year =  | doi =  | PMID = 8135132 }}</ref>.
+==Risk factors==
+==Natural history, complications and prognosis==
-==Natural History, Complications and Prognosis==
-Most causes of dizziness are not serious and either quickly get better on their own or are easily treated.
-==Primary Prevention==
-Promptly treat [[ear infections]], [[colds]], [[flu]], [[sinus]] [[congestion]], and other [[respiratory infections]]. This may help prevent [[labyrinthitis]] and [[Meniere's disease]]. If you have a [[cold]], the [[flu]], or other [[viral]] [[illness]], drink plenty of fluids to prevent getting [[dehydrated]].
