Firstly, we have to differentiate between dizziness and vertigo. Dizziness can be a range of sensations including feeling light-headed, faint, woozy, giddy, unsteady, off-balance or weak. Whereas, vertigo is a type of dizziness that feels as though you or your surroundings are spinning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Even though the majority of cases are not serious or life threatening,\u00a0 it is important that we\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18.6667px;\">exclude t<\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">he dangerous etiologies causing vertigo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11319\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11319\" class=\"wp-image-11319 size-medium\" title=\"Vertigo and Dizziness.ent\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/zali.iliggos.ent_-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"Vertigo and Dizziness.ent\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11319\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vertigo and Dizziness<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Thus, we obtain a complete medical history from the patient and a thorough clinical examination is carried out.

Specialized repositioning tests may be performed in the case of benign positional vertigo. Furthermore, medication may be suggested in order to alleviate the symptoms for other types of vertigo. Finally, we may also recommend medical acupuncture, which will be introduced into the treatment protocol to relieve symptoms and <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.gr\/en\/acupuncture-emotions\/treating-stress-and-anxiety-with-acupuncture\/\">anxiety<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Often, patients have already visited many hospitals and clinics without having found relief for their vertigo, consequently, it is very important to treat such patients as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reference\"><\/span><em><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Reference<\/span><\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><em><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Zwergal A, Dieterich M.
