Acute Dizziness


Welcome to Blogs by Katie!

There are many different causes of acute dizziness.  People often us the term "dizziness" as a blanket term for symptoms.  However, it is important to differentiate what this dizzy sensation exactly means and feels like to the appropriate health care provider.  True dizziness or VERTIGO, is a rotational sensation, also with vertigo it is important to assess if hearing loss is associated with the episode. 

Please comment on this blog!  If you have suffered with vertigo- was your hearing tested?

Thank You,
