Session Overview
Description
This session will cover how to take a history from a patient presenting with dizziness.

By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Recognise the important patterns of dizziness and take a proper ‘dizzy history’
Dizziness is a common presenting complaint affecting up to 38% of the population by age 80.
There are many different causes of dizziness.
Patients use lots of different terms to describe their dizziness such as:
- Spinning
