Dizziness treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Dizziness is a sensation of unsteadiness, lightheadedness, or of the surroundings spinning, which can occur occasionally or repeatedly. More than a disease, it is a symptom with multiple possible origins.

Common causes: disturbances of the inner ear and balance, changes in blood pressure, dehydration, and various general or neurological conditions.

Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner is usually the first point of contact; depending on the picture, the internist or the neurologist may take part to study balance and the nervous system.

When to seek care? If the dizziness is intense, frequent, or accompanied by double vision, difficulty speaking, weakness, or fainting, it is worth having it evaluated by a professional to identify the underlying cause.
