Dizziness and Vertigo
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When the sensation appears that everything is spinning or of unsteadiness when moving, it is worth discussing with a professional, since dizziness and vertigo can have various origins. Dizziness is a general feeling of lightheadedness, while vertigo is the perception that the surroundings or oneself is spinning.
What they are: Both reflect a disturbance in balance, which may come from the inner ear, the nervous system, or other causes.
Common symptoms: A spinning sensation, unsteadiness, nausea, difficulty staying on one's feet and, at times, ringing in the ears.
Which specialist treats them? The general practitioner and the internist usually guide the initial workup and refer according to the origin. If the dizziness is intense, frequent, or accompanied by other symptoms, the advisable course is to seek a medical evaluation.
