built 634 days ago
An evaluation for cervicogenic dizziness involves a thorough medical evaluation. Testing of inner ear function is usually requested to ensure that the peripheral or central vestibular system is intact. A health care practitioner may perform a maneuver in which the body is turned while the head is held fixed to see if it causes nystagmus (eye movements) or dizziness to confirm the suspected diagnosis.This test can ... be positive in healthy individuals.

In between major attacks, the individual may have minor attacks occurring more frequently and consisting of unsteadiness lasting for a few seconds to minutes.

The syndrome of dizziness is varied and encompasses a wide range of symptoms. Getting a precise and accurate description of the individual's symptoms is therefore essential for making an accurate diagnosis and helps to differentiate between the four medical subtypes traditionally considered to be the most common causes of dizziness: vertigo, presyncope, dysequilibrium, and light-headedness.
