Dizziness is a common medical complaint. It “is the third most common medical symptom reported in general medical clinics and accounts for about 3%–5% of visits across care settings. In the United States, this translates to 10 million ambulatory visits per year because of dizziness, with roughly 25% of these visits to emergency departments. Many patients have transient or episodic symptoms that last seconds, minutes or hours, but some have prolonged dizziness that persists continuously for days to weeks.”1
