The Dizzy Patient Evaluation

by Dr. Christopher Chang, last modified on 8/17/17

DISCLAIMER: We do NOT consider ourselves "dizzy" experts, but provide the following info as a service to patients. As we are an ENT practice, we will only perform the appropriate testing and evaluation to see if the ears and/or allergies are a cause of a patient's dizziness. Anything more needs to be arranged through your primary care physician or another specialist. Generally speaking, a neurologist is the specialist able to provide the most comprehensive evaluation of dizziness.

The dizziness lasts continuously for hours to days before improving...

... and is associated with severe headaches.


You may be suffering from vertiginous migraines. These headaches are a special class of migraines that also cause moderately severe vertigo or dizziness. The patient may or may not also have symptoms of noise or light sensitivity. The best person to see is a neurologist.
