-==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==
+{{SK}}  Disequilibrium; Vertigo; Unsteadiness; Lightheadedness; Disorientation in space; dizzy; floating; giddiness; giddy; reeling; spaced out; swimmy; weak at the knees; wobbliness; wooziness
-====Synonyms or Words Used to Describe Presyncope====
-Synonyms and symptoms used to describe [[presyncope]] include:
-:*[[Faintness]]
-:*[[Generalized weakness]]
-:*[[Lightheadedness]]
-:*[[Near blackout]]
-:*[[Near fainting]]
-:*[[Near syncope]]
-====Other Secondary Symptoms Associated With Presyncope====
+==[[Dizziness overview|Overview]]==
-[[Presyncope]] is a transient and episodic [[prodrome]]. The other symptoms which usually accompany this [[prodrome]] include:
-:*[[Blurring of vision]]
-:*[[Diaphoresis]]
-:*[[Feeling of warmth]]
-:*[[Nausea]]
-:*[[Pallor]]
-:*[[Palpitations]]
-:*[[Paresthesia]]
-==Vertigo==
+==[[Dizziness historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-====Synonyms or Words Used to Describe Vertigo====
-Synonyms and symptoms used to describe [[vertigo]] include:
-:*[[Disorientation]]
-:*[[Moving]]
-:*[[Spinning]]
-:*[[Swaying]]
-:*[[Tilting]]
-:*[[Vague dizziness]]
-:*[[Whirling]]
-====Other Secondary Symptoms Associated With Vertigo====
+==[[Dizziness classification|Classification]]==
-[[Vertigo]] is a transient and episodic [[perception of false sensation]] of motion. While the most common motion is a spinning sensation of either the surrounding environment or a self motion, the other symptoms which usually accompany this [[perception of false sensation]] include:
-:*[[Diaphoresis]]
-:*[[Imbalance]]
-:*[[Nausea]]
-:*[[Pallor]]
-:*[[Tachycardia]]
-:*[[Vomiting]]
-==Disequilibrium==
+==[[Dizziness pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
-====Synonyms or Words Used to Describe Disequilibrium====
-Synonyms and symptoms used to describe [[disequilibrium]] include:
-:*[[Bad balance]]
-:*[[Chronic dizziness]]
-:*[[Imbalance]]
-:*[[Instability]]
-:*[[Loss of balance]]
-:*[[Off balance]]
-:*[[Unsteadiness]]
-====Other Secondary Symptoms Associated With Disequilibrium====
-[[Disequilibrium]] is a continuous rather than an episodic symptom characterized by 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. The other symptoms which usually accompany [[disequilibrium]] include:
-:*[[Gait abnormality]]
-:*[[Muscle weakness]]
-:*[[Numbness]]
-:*[[Movement incoordination]]
-:*[[Nystagmus]]
-:*[[Visual impairment]]
-==Psychogenic dizziness==
-====Synonyms or Words Used to Describe Psychogenic dizziness====
-Synonyms and symptoms used to describe [[psychogenic dizziness]] include:
-:*[[Functional dizziness]]
-:*[[Hyperventilation syndrome]]
-:*[[Nonspecific dizziness]]
-:*[[Phobic postural vertigo]]
-:*[[Psychiatric dizziness]]
-:*[[Psychic dizziness]]
-:*[[Psychophysiologic dizziness]]
-:*[[Somatization]]
-====Other Secondary Symptoms Associated With Psychogenic dizziness====
-[[Psychogenic dizziness]] is a dizziness which is not characterized by true vertigo and it can be replicated by hyperventilation and psychiatric symptoms that precede its onset. It occurs in anxious or phobic individuals and do not include any specific symptoms.

-==Overview==
-Dizziness is a common but vague symptom.  A wide variety of symptoms are often referred to as dizziness.
-==Causes==
-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>. Being a vague term, it includes several causes from various sensations like [[vertigo]], [[presyncope]], [[disequilibrium]] and [[psychogenic dizziness]].
