  • Title: Understanding dizziness. How to decipher this nonspecific symptom.
    Author: Edmeads J.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 1990 Oct; 88(5):255-8, 263-8. PubMed ID: 2216985.
    Abstract:
    Dizziness is a common but often nonspecific symptom. Through careful history taking and physical examination, primary care physicians can usually determine the type of sensation (vertigo or light-headedness) and its source. Although most causes of dizziness are benign, disorders of the central nervous system tend to be ominous and require immediate referral to a specialist.
