Dizziness

Dizziness is a common description for many different feelings. The feeling of dizziness may be very familiar to you, yet difficult to describe. Vertigo is a medical term to describe the feeling of spinning, whirling, or motion either of yourself or your surroundings. Several diseases of the balance organs of the inner ear can cause vertigo, or it may be a symptom of a tumor or stroke.

Dizziness may be attributed broadly to a number of things including: high blood pressure, low blood pressure, heart attacks or arrhythmia, stroke, tumors, headaches, hyperventilation, medications, metabolic disorders and more.

At the Neurological Institute at Good Shepherd, physicians will thoroughly exam the patient and proceed with treatment depending on the initial cause of the dizziness. Each symptom is different for each patient and each case will be treated as its own.
