Dizziness

Dizziness

Dizziness is not an independent disease, but a major symptom of various syndromes. Next to headaches and sleep disorders, dizziness is the most common neurological symptom. A low blood pressure can also lead to attacks of dizziness.

Dizziness can manifest itself in the impaired function of the eye muscles (nystagmus), the inclination to fall as well as nausea and vomiting.
Dizziness arises most frequently in inner ear diseases as well as brain or eye diseases.

The most frequent, very intense, but at the same time most treatable form of dizziness is the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo which is caused by mobile particles of tissue in the posterior semicircular canal of the vestibular system.
