Not sure what's causing it?
-
Yes. Most people don't know when they first ring, and some have been given a diagnosis that doesn't fit. Working out the cause is the first part of the assessment.
-
The ACPIVR publishes patient information leaflets on BPPV, vestibulopathy (such as labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis), vestibular migraine, PPPD and Ménière's disease. They're on the ACPIVR website.
-
Sometimes. If dizziness comes on suddenly together with weakness or numbness, slurred speech, a drooping face, double vision or a sudden severe headache, call 999 straight away.
