When we use the word dizziness, it can mean several things. It can mean lightheadedness, or it can mean a spinning sensation or it can mean being off balance, or it can mean a sensation of the surroundings being in motion, or it can be simply be a tendency to fall over. In this book we go through various common ways in which people experience dizziness, and the analysis of such situations, and the logic and reasoning of trying to determine the cause, and if a cause is found, what are the treatment options that your doctor may have.
This book does not assume that the reader is stupid and does not attempt to dumb things down. Neither does it assume that the reader is out to sue authors and it does not try to hedge everything in a lawyerly manner. This book makes an attempt to explain the logic and reasoning that a doctor uses when evaluating someone with dizziness. It tries to explain the various possibilities a doctor might consider in a given scenario of dizziness, and the testing he might consider and the treatment options he may offer.
